AI Pair Programming Workflow
A complete workflow for effective AI pair programming with Cursor or Claude Code
Steps
Set Up Your Environment
Configure your AI coding tool with your project
Configure Cursor with your project by opening the folder and letting it index your codebase
Define the Task
Clearly state what you want to build
I'm building a React component for user authentication. Can you help me create: - A login form with email and password fields - Form validation - Error handling
Review AI Suggestions
Carefully review the AI's suggestions before accepting
// Example generated code structure
function LoginForm() {
const [email, setEmail] = useState('')
const [password, setPassword] = useState('')
// Handle submit...
}
Iterate and Refine
Ask follow-up questions to improve the code
Can you add: - Loading state during submission - Remember me checkbox - Password visibility toggle
