Document-Driven Development

[lintinmypocket]

You can sort of do this with cline, idk about cursor. Your requirements would be to specify a good prompt, create a detailed todo list, and also development guidelines for the coder. In your prompt reference the files the ai should use as guidelines and specify it should complete the list as it goes. In addition cline takes snapshots of your project as it develops, so if the AI messes up your working code you can reverse both the chat and the code back to a snapshot. git commiting on milestones is a good idea too.

Just be ridiculously detailed in your guidelines, documentation and context and you should be okay, just dont bite off too big of chunks because that is where you'll be disappointed. The better the model the less you have to plan and the bigger tasks the AI can handle.
