any pro tips on how to use Cursor for complex projects requiring lots of context?

terminally /hyped. also /powerfeed and /faristocats

Cmd+enter on your prompt will automatically search for relevant files in your project to include in the context

lovely, thx!

when trying to code and handle a new complex project from scratch i keep bumping onto the context window problem, even though i try to decompose tasks and switch to new dialogues

have you encountered such an issue?

i’m now thinking of trying this:
1) use Claude’s projects feature to create a project db + have a CTO-like “architectural” chat
2) use Cursor’s compose feature for performing small tasks (one composer per each tasks)

I start a new chat for each small task I want to accomplish so that the model doesn’t get confused and hallucinate due to too much context. I also tend to edit the prompt instead of asking for follow up changes if it does something wrong
