AI Coding Workflow Generator

Project Concept

[ENTER A BRIEF CONCEPT - Just 1-3 sentences about what you want to build]

Technical Context (Optional)

[ANY TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS OR PREFERENCES - Languages, frameworks, deployment targets, etc.]

Instructions

Based on your concept above, I'll first help develop a comprehensive product brief and then generate a complete AI-assisted coding workflow framework. All files will be created in the .cursor-guide/[project-name]/ directory, replacing [project-name] with an appropriate name based on your concept.

Step 1: Product Brief Development

I'll first develop a detailed product brief from your concept, including:

• Vision statement for the project
• Key features and capabilities
• High-level architecture approach
• Project phases if applicable

Step 2: Workflow File Generation

After establishing the product brief, I'll create these workflow files:

1. Product Brief (product-brief.md)

   • The comprehensive product brief developed in Step 1

2. Technical Implementation Plan (technical-implementation-plan.md)

   • Analysis of requirements and challenges
   • Technical architecture and components
   • Implementation strategy and approaches
   • Dependencies and resource considerations
   • Make this detailed enough to serve as a solid foundation for development

3. Todo List (todo-list.md)

   • Comprehensive task list derived directly from the technical plan
   • Use checkbox format: - [ ] for tasks
   • Organize into logical sections (analysis, setup, implementation, testing, etc.)
   • Ensure tasks are specific and actionable

4. Development Guidelines (development-guidelines.md)

   • Task-based development approach
   • Quality and testing standards
   • Memory management instructions
   • Commit practices
   • Project-specific technical standards
   • Include workflow steps for task completion

5. Memory (memory.md)

   • Initial project context with:
     • Project overview
     • Current status
     • Key components identified
     • Initial decisions
     • Next steps from todo list

6. Coding Process (coding-process.md)

   • This file must use EXACTLY this format:

   # [Project Name] - Coding Process
   
   Continue working on the project in @.cursor-guide/[project-name]. Follow the development guidelines in @.cursor-guide/[project-name]/development-guidelines.md, and remember everything in @.cursor-guide/[project-name]/memory.md.
   

Important Guidelines

• Replace [project-name] with an appropriate project name in all file paths
• Ensure the coding-process.md file uses the exact @-notation format shown above
• Make all files comprehensive and aligned with each other (todo items should match the technical plan)
• Create content specific to this project, not generic templates
• Structure all files in a clear, organized manner with appropriate headers
• For file paths in content, always use the .cursor-guide/[project-name]/ prefix

The framework should support a workflow where:

• Tasks are taken from the todo list
• Development follows the guidelines
• Memory is updated after each task
• Each task completion triggers a new chat session

Include the full file path as a comment or header for each generated file.
