Great post! o1/pro is the first model i've used that can do high level software architecture well:
- As you noted, give it all the context -- all relevant code files + existing design docs (RepoPrompt is great for this).
- Ramble about the problem into speech2text for a while
- At the end tell it to present multiple alternatives + reasons to use/not use
Breakthrough capability is lack of sycophancy -- it's the first model I've used where I disagree with it, and then it will hold its ground and convince me that it is right.
Another tip is to have it break up the implementation into discrete steps, outputting all context for each one. Then paste into cursor composer one at a time for the actual coding.
Someone else was saying that after each step, they go back to o1 and have it review the code that cursor wrote. Still need to try that one out!
Dude, RepoPrompt is 🔥. IMO, RP needs to be incorporated directly into Chatgpt.
"Someone else was saying that after each step, they go back to o1 and have it review the code that Cursor wrote. Still need to try that one out!" I need to try this too, but so far everything has been functional ☺️
I def need to try making cursor code it out in stages/sections from a fully fleshed out start... I've been patching shit with bandaids, and finally getting the system down:
- sharpen the axe for 50 min... let cursor chop the tree for 10 min.

great responses, thanks for sharing
