Define a set of instructions in a markdown file to create a custom AI agent within Cursor. Use this agent to consistently generate structured documents like Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for your projects.
with Claire Vo
In your project, create a dedicated folder (e.g., agents) and add a new markdown file inside it (e.g., prd.md). This file will hold the permanent instructions for your custom AI agent.
Ask Cursor's AI to populate your new markdown file with instructions. Tell the AI what kind of document the agent should create (a PRD), where it should be saved (@docs folder), and any formatting requirements.
Can you fill out @prd.md. This is a blank file to be agent instructions to write a great PRD in the @docs folder. PRDs should be in markdown and the instructions should be less than 500 lines long for our AI agent to follow.Now, write a new prompt to create a specific document. The key is to reference your instruction file using the '@' symbol. The AI will read the rules from your prd.md file and apply them to generate the new content.
Great. Now write me a PRD for a little scheduling app where my kid can have our neighbors schedule help with weeding, taking out trash cans and sweeping their driveways.Check that the new document has been created in the correct folder (docs) and follows the structure you defined in your agent's instructions. You can now reuse this agent anytime you need to write a new PRD with a consistent format.
Use an AI agent to automatically catalog physical items like toys and books from photos, creating a searchable inventory in a note-taking app. The agent can then connect these physical items to digital plans, like suggesting relevant toys for a lesson.
Partner with an AI coding agent to build and deploy a custom TV application from scratch, even with zero prior coding knowledge. This workflow allows you to create a safe, curated content environment for your family by pulling from approved sources.
Use an AI agent to digitize curriculum books from photos, automatically generate structured lesson plans, and create custom learning materials like watercolor illustrations. This saves hours of manual data entry and creative work.
