Step-by-Step Guide

1

Set Up Your Cursor Environment for Writing

Optimize Cursor for documentation, not just code. Install a Markdown preview extension like Markdown Preview Enhanced for readability, organize product documents in a dedicated directory, and use Git for version control to track changes to your PRDs just like source code.

2

Create and Publish PRDs with AI

Write your Product Requirements Document (PRD) in Markdown directly within Cursor. Then, use a simple natural language prompt with Cursor's Model Context Protocols (MCPs) to publish the document directly to tools like Confluence or Notion.

Prompt:
Let's publish it into Confluence. Don't overwrite the other one we already pushed, make a copy please. And I'm demoing this capability!
Pro Tip: Cursor's AI can even return the URL of the newly created page and add it back to your original Markdown file for easy reference.
3

Automate Confluence Feedback Management

Instead of manually replying to comments on your published PRD, use an AI prompt to pull all comments from the Confluence page into Cursor. The AI will categorize them and draft suggested responses, which you can review and approve.

Prompt:
Looks like people have been commenting on the PRD. Please go through the comment one by one and let's see how we'll respond.
4

Generate Jira Epics and Stories from Your PRD

Once your PRD is finalized, instruct the AI to read the document and automatically create a corresponding epic and detailed story tickets in your Jira project. This ensures tickets are well-structured with user stories and acceptance criteria, linked directly to the PRD context.

Prompt:
Read the PRD and create an epic in the TIA project. ... Let's create story tickets that are all associated with the parent Epic for this feature.
5

Automate Weekly Status Reports

Generate comprehensive weekly status reports with a single prompt. The AI uses the Jira MCP to query the status of all tickets related to your epic, read comments, and compile a detailed update based on a pre-saved format.

Prompt:
Let's write a status report and describe everything that has happened since 9/24 for this epic I'll give it this epic here.
