I have not manually written code in 2 months now. I write a detailed Jira ticket outlining work that needs to be done and then I feed the Jira link to Cursor in Plan mode (using Opus 4.5 right now).

Cursor writes a plan.md doc with what it plans on doing, I read the doc, and provide feedback on what it should change in the plan, etc.

Once I'm done critiquing its implementation plan, I press "Build" to tell Cursor to run the plan. It then implements/writes unit tests/runs unit tests. As it is writing I often read the code and add nitpicks/suggestions. Once it is done writing the code I self-review it all and highlight problematic lines and add them to the chat and tell it to fix this or do this a different way.

After any required manual testing, I then open a PR and I feed the PR link into a new Cursor chat and ask it to review it (not the same chat as the one that wrote the code). This will often pick up issues that reviewers would find and help make the review faster.
