I've done 100s of tests with Cursor's agent feature at this point.
If you want the agent to complete an extensive workflow with a single command, the best way to do that is...

First, split up your workflow into several chunks.
For example for copycoder.ai our workflow is to build out the full frontend of an app and integrate it with a supabase backend (that includes user auth).
So we've split it into 3 files:
1 - Setup dependencies & build initial dashboard
2 - Build all other pages in app
3 - Setup supabase & auth

For each file create one .md file and add all of your:
- instructions
- context
- rules & constraints
- other details
...in there.
Make sure the files don't get too large, this will degrade performance. You'll have to find the right balance.

Finally, and this is the most important part, create one file that acts as a control center of all the other files.
In our case it's the .setup file, which coordinates the execution of files 1-3.
After we added this file, the performance jumped by quite a bit.

This was a behind the scenes look at how our prompts work.
