<h3>The bottleneck</h3>
<p>Every retrospective ends the same way: “Our docs are stale again.” Everyone nods, then quietly hopes someone else will fix them.</p>
<h3>Why I built this</h3>
<p>After burning a full Friday writing architecture decision records by hand, I put together AI Cursor Init. It’s a one‑folder toolkit that lives in .cursor/. Drop it into any repo and run /init-docs inside Cursor IDE. Static analysis drafts ADRs, ER diagrams, onboarding guides, and more—ready to commit.</p>
<h3>How it plays out</h3>
<p>Higher‑context‑length models give the generator a wider view of the codebase, so the outputs are richer and more coherent. Once the docs land in docs/, I run them through the Cursor AI agent for a quick lint—catching typos, smoothing phrasing, tightening a diagram title here and there. The result beats anything I wrote manually, and the whole loop still takes minutes.</p>
<h3>Get started</h3>
<pre><code>git <span class="hljs-built_in">clone</span> https://github.com/mgiovani/ai-cursor-init.git
<span class="hljs-built_in">cp</span> -r ai-cursor-init/.cursor/ your-project/
<span class="hljs-comment"># open in Cursor IDE</span>
/init-docs
</code></pre>
<p>All docs stay in version control, so your usual review and CI gates apply. If you extend it or spot rough edges, open an issue or drop a PR.</p>

Dev Tools

AI Cursor Init is a toolkit that automates documentation generation for software projects. It uses static analysis to create architecture decision records, ER diagrams, and onboarding guides directly from codebases. The tool integrates with Cursor IDE and leverages AI models to produce coherent documentation that can be reviewed and maintained through standard version control workflows.
