This post was created with AI assistance and reviewed for accuracy before publishing. Cursor can use project rules and documentation to steer behavior. Exact file names and mechanisms evolve; check Cursor documentation for the current layout (for example rules in .cursor or legacy .cursorrules patterns).

Six months of AI-assisted coding and I kept hitting this wall. My initial reaction was "maybe I need to write better prompts." I wrote better prompts. The functions got slightly better. New inconsistencies appeared elsewhere. The problem wasn't the A
