1. Why this is important? Having the PRD and DB design in Cursor means Cursor has the context throughout the entire development. This saves time and avoids rework.
  1. Create a PRD with ChatGPT You might think, “I don’t need a PRD, I’ve built products without one before.” But trust me, having a well-defined PRD in your Cursor workflow is a game changer. Here’s how I create one: - Throw everything the client shared into ChatGPT. - Ask it to list core features and optional features. - Use the Moscow framework (Must-haves, Should-haves, Could-haves, Won’t-haves) to prioritize features for the MVP. - Bring everything into ChatPRD (It’s a custom GPT). This give you a solid starting point to begin refining from.
  1. Move to UI Planning with V0 With the PRD and database design ready, it’s time to plan the UI using ChatGPT. Using the PRD as a guide, I: - List all the key screens and features. - Ask it to provide detailed descriptions of the UI screens. This step ensures the design aligns with the product’s functionality.

If you’re building MVPs, try this workflow. It’s FAST, scalable, and incredibly effective. Have any questions about using Cursor or V0? Let’s discuss below!

  1. Build the UI in V0 Now comes the exciting part. Bringing the UI to life in V0. Here’s how I maximize V0’s potential: - Start by taking the UI screen descriptions generated by ChatGPT and inputting them into V0. - Add inspiration screenshots or directly reference websites. - Spend extra time perfecting the landing page, once it’s nailed, creating the rest of the screens becomes much easier by referencing its design. After refining through 4-5 prompts, the UI is polished, visually stunning, and ready to go!

  1. Start with Planning Great MVPs aren’t just built. They’re planned. Before writing a single line of code, I spend time creating detailed documents in ChatGPT. These include: - PRD (Product Requirements Document) - Task breakdown - Database design The more detailed these documents are, the smoother the development process becomes.
  1. Design the Database A scalable database is the backbone of any product. ChatGPT simplifies this process. Here’s how I approach it: - Input the PRD into ChatGPT. - Ask it to create a database design: > Define tables. > Outline their purposes. > Specify relationships. This will save you hours of manual work and ensure your database is both structured and scalable.
  1. Bring It All Back to Cursor Save all your documents (PRD, task breakdown, DB design) as .md files in Cursor. These resources act as your single source of truth throughout the development process. PRO TIP: Keep referring back to these documents during development. This ensures Cursor always has the context it needs to provide accurate outputs for your code, features, or logic.
  1. Iterate and Refine As you build, remember: - Development is iterative. Adjust the PRD and designs as needed. - Run regular feature discussions with Cursor. Use prompts like: > “Refer to task-breakdown and db-design. Build feature #5, but first, discuss the approach with me.” This approach saves time and helps you make informed decisions.
  1. Key takeaway Provide Cursor with as much context as possible, and you’ll significantly reduce mistakes and increase efficiency. Planning might feel like a lot upfront, but it pays off in faster development, fewer mistakes, and a polished product.
