Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Generate PR-Ready Checklist

Create a checklist for your pull request from completed tasks:

PR Checklist Prompt

"Generate a PR-ready checklist from my completed Corcava tasks this week. For each completed task: 1. List the task title 2. Create a checklist item (e.g., '✅ Implemented JWT authentication') 3. Include any acceptance criteria that were met Format as a markdown checklist suitable for a pull request description."

What Cursor's AI does:

  1. Calls list_tasks to find completed tasks
  2. Reads task details and acceptance criteria
  3. Formats as PR-ready markdown checklist
  4. Presents ready-to-copy checklist

Step 2: Draft Release Notes

Create release notes from completed tasks:

Release Notes Prompt

"Generate release notes for version [X.Y.Z] from my completed Corcava tasks. Include: 1. New features (from feature tasks) 2. Bug fixes (from bug tasks) 3. Improvements (from enhancement tasks) Group by category and format as markdown suitable for GitHub releases or changelog."

What Cursor's AI does:

  1. Fetches completed tasks from specified time period
  2. Categorizes tasks (features, bugs, improvements)
  3. Formats as professional release notes
  4. Creates markdown-ready output

Step 3: Create Status Update

Generate a status update using tasks as source of truth:

Status Update Prompt

"Create a status update from my Corcava tasks for this week: 1. Completed work (list completed tasks) 2. In progress (current work) 3. Blocked items 4. Next week priorities Format as a team update suitable for Slack or email."

What Cursor's AI does:

  1. Aggregates task data by status
  2. Organizes by project and priority
  3. Formats for team communication
  4. Presents ready-to-send update

Step 4: Write Summary Comment (After Approval)

⚠️ Always Get Approval Before Writing Comments

Before writing summary comments to tasks:

  • Show Preview: Display what comment will be written
  • Get Confirmation: Wait for explicit approval
  • Then Write: Only write comment after confirmation

Safe Summary Comment Prompt

"I want to add a summary comment to task [Task ID] about the work completed. The comment should say: '[summary text]' First, show me the preview of what the comment will be. Wait for me to type 'APPROVE' or 'CONFIRM' before writing it. If I don't approve, don't write the comment."

What Cursor's AI does:

  1. Shows preview of comment text
  2. Waits for approval
  3. Only calls add_task_comment after confirmation
  4. Confirms comment was added
