"Please update the existing tests based on this new feature or create new following the same principle we have followed for the other tests, if needed. Run them (without asking for permission) and fix the errors until it works."

One thing I do, which I assumed we all did until hacking on something IRL with a couple of friends who use Cursor, is to *liberally* add files into context. E.g.

"The [@file] component needs to be split into smaller files similar to [@another-file], and we should add tests in [@wherever]"

what?!? we can do that? 🫣

I have been putting the files into the context and writing like:
"The https://utils.py needs to be split into smaller files..."

Sometimes it does not work properly... Using @ should help!! Thank you! I learned something new today
