Structured Development Workflow
Cursor Memories has designed a complete pattern system to support the software development lifecycle. Six core patterns are predefined and interconnected by standardized .md command files: VAN pattern for analyzing the project vision, PLAN pattern for generating the development plan, CREATIVE pattern for conceptualizing the solution, IMPLEMENT pattern for executing the development, REFLECT pattern for evaluating and optimizing the development, and finally, ARCHIVE pattern for archiving the project.
- Mode switching alert: progress.md automatically logs stage transitions
- context-sensitive passing (computing): Decisions of the predecessor mode are automatically passed on to the successor mode
- QA Functional Integration: Quality check can be invoked in either mode
This structured workflow is particularly suited to enterprise projects that require strict adherence to development specifications.
