Best Practices for Connector Builder

Keep conversations concise and use @Conversation. After about 10 interactions, most models begin to lose context and might start hallucinating.

Make use of @Docs.

Use ·@ to reference files in the codebase whenever possible.

Commit frequently and don’t hesitate to discard changes: If Cursor (especially in Agent mode) introduces an error, avoid asking it to roll back. Instead, use the Restore Checkpoint feature or revert the changes yourself using git.

Enable and configure Auto-run mode. When enabled, the Cursor agent can execute tools (such as running mvn compile) without asking for confirmation, and use the output to fix errors or address warnings. You can also define prompts to control the actions the Cursor agent is permitted to take.

Plan before you implement. Use .markdown files to track progress and break work into small, manageable tasks.
