Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Eric Xiao cloned his trip-planner codebase and had Cursor describe it. He saved that description as an AGENTS.md file so new chats start with context. He then asked the agent for feature ideas with ASCII wireframes. He ran parallel agents on trip history and an itinerary editor, then used plan mode and worktrees to implement.

  2. How it went

    The agent found gaps such as no saved trips, loading indicator, map or follow-ups, and drew wireframes for each. The post gives no build results or timings for the implemented feature, only a claim of about 30 minutes to a working prototype.

  3. Worth knowing

    Work in branches or worktrees and clone repos read-only, so the worst case is deleting a branch and starting over.

Example prompts

Try with Cursor
I'm not a developer. Look through my prototype in [repo or folder] and list what's missing for a working version of [feature idea]. Draw ASCII wireframes of the screens, then write a step-by-step plan and implement it, using parallel agents in separate worktrees if it helps. You're done when I can run the feature locally and you've explained in plain language how to try it. Show me the plan and wait for my approval before changing any code.
