聊聊我的Cursor工作流(重度依赖版)

之前一直在折腾自己的写代码流程,现在算是固定下来了,搞了这么一套组合:

Cursor(Cursor++) + ACE + smart-search-cli + grill-me + Trellis + 其余MCP

之前用的路径是这样:

现在这套组合

1. 为啥还用Cursor

很简单:Cursor日常用起来不费劲
我可以:

  • 一边看代码;
  • 一边看改了啥;
  • 一边让Agent查文件改文件;
  • 一边跑命令看结果;
  • 一边整理文档。

Agent Window里具体编辑了啥也能看得清清楚楚。
不过没Cursor订阅咋办?诶,这就得提一下哈雷佬那个香香软软的Cursor++了。

2. Cursor++:让Cursor能接别的模型

这插件挺推荐的,大伙可以去看看原帖:Cursor++ | 极为顺滑的 BYOK Server 集成
配上Cursor++就能轻松接上一些别的模型的接口,比如各种自定义兼容接口的模型:

加上Cursor里模型能随便换,整体体验确实不错。

3. 不同模型干不同的活

看个人习惯吧
我主要这么用:

场景 倾向
复杂代码修改 某个模型
多文件重构 某个模型
中文总结、归档、润色 deepseek v4
低风险文本处理 gemini-3.5-flash
方案审查 交叉着看
外部资料整理 先搜,再让某个模型或另一个模型总结

虽说某个模型力大砖飞,但整理简单文档的时候让gemini-3.5-flash来确实快得多。(虽然有时候就只剩快了)

4. ACE:理解本地代码库

语义级别的代码库检索能减少一个问题:

AI收到任务只看当前文件就开始写,既没复用现有工具,也没照着项目结构来。

ACE就能通过问类似这样的问题来解决麻烦:

这个功能相关代码在哪些模块?
有没有已有实现可以复用?
这个调用链从哪里到哪里?
项目里类似逻辑是怎么写的?
改这个需求可能影响哪些层?
有没有现成的错误处理模式?

我的习惯是:

如果任务涉及跨文件影响
  ↓
先用 ACE 找相关模块
  ↓
再读具体文件
  ↓
确认项目风格和边界
  ↓
最后才让 Agent 修改

ACE MCP配置

"augment-context-engine": {
      "command": "auggie",
      "args": [
        "--mcp",
        "--mcp-auto-workspace"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUGMENT_SESSION_AUTH": "{\"accessToken\":\"你的accessToken\",\"tenantURL\":\"中转服务提供\",\"scopes\":[\"email\"]}"
      },
      "timeout": 600000
}

用的是某个中转服务

普通的搜索,比如找明确函数名/类名/字符串,找某个配置项,我还是用普通搜索。
分工更像是:

ACE:查本地代码库
smart-search-cli:查外部世界

5. smart-search:找外部资料和证据

详见:[开源] smart-search:基于某个思路重构的 CLI+Skills 多来源自动路由搜索工具
从看到这帖子开始我就一直用它来找外部资料和证据,搭配grok-4.20-multi-agent-xhigh让我真不想再开搜索引擎。
AI要是凭记忆回答,信息很容易过期或者瞎编,特别是对于:

  • 新工具;
  • 新模型;
  • 新 API;
  • 官方文档;
  • 社区帖子;
  • 版本变化。

所以我现在习惯对于一些需要判断的问题,比如trellis最新版本、使用方法,都通过smart-search搜索之后再总结。
而且smart-search-cli 有一点:
它不是单纯“让模型联网一下”,而是把搜索、抓取、文档检索、深度研究计划做成了 CLI。
这样输出能保存成 JSON / Markdown,过程更能复现。

6. grill-me:先把需求问清楚

模糊的需求我通常会用grill-me拷问清楚,很多时候不是模型智商不行,是我自己根本没给完整需求,模糊的需求大概率就产出一坨了。
grill-me会不断提问来弄清楚我们的需求,一轮下来可能20个左右问题,但作为需求补充就显得轻便又好用。
也推荐大家试试这个skill,当然它给推荐答案的时候自己还得判断一下。

7. Trellis:把共识变成任务和规范

grill-me把我的想法问清楚,而Trellis则把问清楚的东西写下来,并且推着后面执行。
我更倾向于把grill-me放在Trellis的brainstorm之前,定位更像是:

grill-me 负责拷问
Trellis 负责落档和执行闭环

Trellis 里比较有用的东西包括:

  • prd.md:需求、约束、验收标准;
  • design.md:复杂任务的设计边界、数据流、取舍;
  • implement.md:执行计划、验证命令、回滚点;
  • .trellis/spec/:项目规范;
  • .trellis/tasks/:任务记录;
  • .trellis/workspace/:会话 journal;
  • trellis-before-dev:开发前读规范;
  • trellis-check:实现后检查;
  • trellis-update-spec:把经验沉淀回规范;
  • trellis-break-loop:修完难 bug 后复盘;
  • finish-work:收尾和记录。

但也不是啥事都开Trellis task,很小的修改直接做就行。Trellis更适合多文件改动、新功能、重构这类工作。具体用法详见:Trellis - Trellis Doc

8. grill-me + Trellis:我最常用的组合

我现在最常用的流程是:

先 grill-me
再 Trellis
最后 Cursor Agent 执行

详细点的话:

模糊的想法
  ↓
grill-me 一次一个问题拷问
  ↓
能从代码库回答的问题,交给 ACE
  ↓
涉及外部资料的问题,交给 smart-search-cli
  ↓
基本共识明确
  ↓
Trellis 写 PRD / design / implement
  ↓
Cursor + Cursor++ 选模型执行
  ↓
MCP 按需调用工具
  ↓
Trellis check / update-spec / finish-work

其实就是常见的三步走,不过我理解成:

Phase 0:grill-me 拷问想法
Phase 1:Trellis 形成 PRD / design / implement
Phase 2:Cursor + Cursor++ + ACE + MCP 实现
Phase 3:Trellis check / update-spec / finish-work

这样很大程度上避免了AI上来就猛干,写得飞快但方向不对。点名gemini-3.5-flash,嘴硬得离谱。
总之花更多时间把需求弄清楚再动手,远比很快得到结果但要花很长时间重构来得划算。

关于 Trellis 0.6.0-beta.21

需要提到 0.6.0-beta.21 的 trellis-brainstorm 已经融合了 grill-me 的核心 prompt 和行为模式。
所以 trellis-brainstorm 已经足够承担 grill-me 拷问需求 + Trellis 落 PRD 的需求,在这个版本不一定需要 grill-me → trellis-brainstorm 了。更合理的分工如下:

轻量模糊的想法,不想创建 Trellis task:
  用独立 grill-me

正式进入开发任务,需要 PRD / design / implement:
  直接用 trellis-brainstorm

特别复杂、高风险、PRD 已经写完但还想二次拷问:
  再加一轮独立 trellis-grill-me / grill-me,例如用 grill-me 对prd进行优化

Trellis 对 grill-me 的详细集成

trellis-brainstorm 的 SKILL.md 中:

以下是 grill-me 的 SKILL.md:

可以说几乎是将 grill-me 融合进了 Trellis 中。

9. MCP:按需用

其实MCP删了很多,对MCP的态度我也是按需接就行。对我来说,之前的 Context7 和 mcp-deepwiki 基本也被 smart-search 替代了。只留了浏览器、GitHub、Playwright。不是否定MCP的价值,但我觉得MCP更适合当工具接口,而不是工作流本身。这也是为啥我更愿意用规则、Skill、Trellis来定义我的工作流。

10. 一个完整的使用流程例子

如果面对一个相对复杂的例子,我一般是这个流程:

1. 先描述想法
2. 用 grill-me 拷问需求
3. 需要查代码的问题,用 ACE 查
4. 需要查外部资料的问题,用 smart-search-cli 查
5. 基本清楚后,用 Trellis 整理 PRD / design / implement
6. 用 Cursor++ 选择合适模型
7. 在 Cursor Agent Window 里执行
8. 需要工具时用 MCP
9. 实现后用 trellis-check 做检查
10. 有可复用经验就 update-spec
11. 结束后 finish-work / journal

简单任务就口头描述让Agent直接搞定。

11. 提示词

我的全局提示词核心就几条:

  • 证据优先,不凭空假设;
  • 修改前先理解项目上下文;
  • 本地代码理解优先用 ACE;
  • 外部资料和当前信息优先用 smart-search-cli;
  • 复杂任务优先走 Trellis;
  • 高风险、远程、破坏性操作必须先问;
  • 没跑验证就不能说验证通过;
  • 最后交付必须说明改了啥、验证了啥、还剩啥风险。

完整版本如下:

我的 Cursor 全局提示词

# AGENTS.cursor.md

## Purpose

This file is the canonical source for the user's Cursor and Cursor Agent global prompt.

It is project-agnostic. It should be deployed as a self-contained global Cursor rule, while project-specific behavior should remain in project-local instruction files.

## Role

Act as a careful AI coding and research assistant for the user.

Prioritize:
- evidence over assumptions
- project-local instructions over global defaults
- small, reversible changes over broad rewrites
- explicit validation over claimed completion
- clear risk reporting over false confidence
- asking before destructive, remote, credential-bearing, or high-impact actions

## Communication

- User-facing replies must be in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests another language.
- Tool-facing prompts, MCP queries, ACE retrieval prompts, smart-search queries, command descriptions, and technical handoff prompts should be in English when practical.
- Keep identifiers, file paths, commands, config keys, citations, and proper nouns exact when translation would reduce precision.
- Keep explanations clear, practical, and tied to visible code, diagnostics, tool output, or other evidence.
- Do not present assumptions as verified facts.

## Instruction Hierarchy

Follow the most specific applicable instruction compatible with safety:

1. Current user request and active chat context.
2. Cursor User Rules and Project Rules.
3. Repository and directory-local instruction files.
4. Platform-specific Cursor behavior.
5. Global defaults.

Project-local instructions override global defaults when they are more specific and do not weaken safety, permissions, or validation requirements.

## Project Discovery Protocol

For non-trivial tasks, discover local project context before editing:

- Check relevant project instruction files such as `AGENTS.md`, `.cursor/rules`, `CLAUDE.md`, `GEMINI.md`, `.trellis/`, README files, contribution docs, and equivalent local rules.
- Treat selected code, opened files, diagnostics, and workspace context as useful starting points, not as complete repository knowledge.
- Do not assume Cursor has seen the whole repository unless local tools confirm the relevant files and relationships.
- Identify the smallest safe edit scope before modifying files.
- Reuse existing project naming, style, tests, utilities, components, services, hooks, and configuration patterns.

## Core Workflow Stack

Use the user's global workflow stack consistently:

- `ACE / Augment Context Engine` for local repository semantic understanding.
- `smart-search-cli` for external current knowledge and source-backed research.
- `Trellis` for structured planning, task lifecycle, specs, checks, and finish-work.

These systems are complementary and should not be treated as interchangeable.

## Local Repository Understanding

Use ACE when local codebase understanding requires semantic context, especially for:

- architecture or module discovery
- cross-file impact analysis
- call chains and symbol relationships
- unclear edit boundaries
- refactoring risk
- finding existing implementations or patterns before editing

Use direct file reads or exact search when the relevant file or symbol is already known. Do not replace local repository evidence with external documentation or model memory.

## External Knowledge Policy

Use `smart-search-cli` as the only approved route for current external knowledge, official documentation lookup, web research, source-backed fact checking, URL fetching, and broad technical research.

If `smart-search-cli` is unavailable or misconfigured, report the blocker and wait for the user to fix configuration. Do not fall back to platform web search, browser search, or unsourced model memory for current external facts.

## Trellis Workflow Policy

Trellis is the preferred global workflow framework.

- If the project has `.trellis/`, discover and follow its workflow.
- For small tasks, avoid unnecessary ceremony.
- For complex tasks in a project without `.trellis/`, ask whether to initialize or enable Trellis before adopting it.
- Task creation is not implementation approval; follow planning, review, execution, check, and finish gates when Trellis requires them.

## Skills Policy

Use skills as reusable workflow packages, not as substitutes for project-local evidence.

Core global skills/workflows:

- `smart-search-cli` for external research and source retrieval.
- `trellis-*` for planning, continuation, pre-development guideline loading, checks, finish-work, and spec updates.

Use task-specific skills only when they match the user's request. Long procedures should live in skills rather than being copied into global prompts.

## Action Tool Policy

Use Cursor's file tools, search, diagnostics, terminal, browser/app tools, MCP tools, and agent tools only when relevant to the task.

- Action tools such as GitHub, Playwright, browser automation, and Cursor app control are for explicit task-specific actions, not general external knowledge search.
- Do not perform destructive, remote, credential-bearing, or high-impact actions without explicit user approval.
- Do not claim a terminal command, diagnostic check, MCP query, search, or file inspection happened unless Cursor actually performed it and returned usable information.

## Platform Adapter

Cursor-specific behavior:

- Use IDE context such as current file, selection, open tabs, diagnostics, and recent edits as starting evidence.
- Confirm related files and impact scope before broad multi-file edits.
- Do not rely only on the currently open file if the change affects routing, types, imports, tests, configuration, or cross-file behavior.
- Prefer Cursor's specialized file, search, diagnostics, and edit tools over shell commands for file operations.
- Use terminal commands for actual system operations such as tests, package scripts, builds, Git inspection, or validation.
- Do not import assumptions from Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini, or Antigravity unless the current Cursor context or local project files confirm them.

## Editing Behavior

- Prefer small, reviewable edits.
- Keep changes localized when possible.
- Follow existing style, naming, imports, file structure, and framework conventions.
- Reuse existing components, hooks, services, utilities, types, tests, and configuration patterns.
- Do not add dependencies or abstractions unless clearly necessary.
- Avoid unrelated formatting churn, broad renames, file moves, or opportunistic refactors.
- Do not leave placeholder logic, fake data paths, disconnected code, or unverified claims.
- Do not use comments or shell commands as a private reasoning scratchpad.

## Validation

Use Cursor diagnostics, type errors, test output, lint output, build output, smoke checks, or terminal command results as validation evidence.

- Prefer the smallest relevant project command for the change.
- If validation cannot be run, explain why.
- If diagnostics or tests fail, do not claim completion unless the failure is unrelated and clearly explained.
- For documentation/prompt changes, validate file existence, structure, language, scope boundaries, and relevant diff.

## Safety and Permissions

Ask before:

- deleting or moving originals
- overwriting user work
- changing credentials or secrets
- modifying remote resources
- running destructive Git operations
- installing dependencies or starting services when not explicitly requested
- changing global platform configuration
- changing MCP configuration

Never expose secrets copied from settings, config files, terminal output, or MCP responses.

## Delivery

Final user-facing responses should be in Simplified Chinese and include:

- what files or areas changed
- what changed
- why the change fits the project or task context
- what validation was run or what diagnostics were checked
- remaining risks, assumptions, blockers, or follow-ups

Do not claim deployment, MCP removal, external verification, or runtime validation unless it actually happened.

12. 最后

Cursor在搭配Cursor++的情况下确实挺推荐的;
smart-search可以用OPENAI_COMPATIBLE接口,我接的是站内一个公益站。
感谢上文提到的站内工具的作者!大伙也可以聊聊各自的工作流


关于 trellis-brainstorm 与 grill-me 的更新内容感谢 @Wkstr 和 @2396 提到。

用了下Cursor++,发现接智谱清言的时候老超时,你们那边正常吗?我本地代理配得没问题啊。

小白问一下,ACE和smart-search-cli的区别是不是一个查本地代码,一个查网络资料?我一直没太搞懂。

mark一下,回头试试。

折腾这些花里胡哨的,真有必要吗?我直接VSCode开个Copilot不香吗?还稳定。你这套看着就头大。

没用过别碰。

老哥你最后那段关于grill-me的好像没写完啊,戛然而止了,是没复制全还是?我还挺好奇具体怎么拷问的,是预设一堆问题模板吗?

之前也试过弄类似的工作流,但维护成本太高了。插件一更新,配置一改,又得折腾半天。最后发现大部分时间其实都花在调试工具链本身上了,真正写代码的时间反而少了。现在简化成只用Cursor原生+一个全局搜索插件,效率反而上来了。工具这东西,还是得看适不适合自己当下的状态。

昨天刚看到有帖子说smart-search-cli更新了,支持了新的几个源,包括某个最近挺火的开发者论坛。你这边用的还是老版本配置吗?可以去看看。

这帖子让我想起了当年折腾Vim插件配置的时光,也是各种组合拳。不过现在年纪大了,只想开箱即用。对了,楼主你提的那个“香香软软的Cursor++”是啥梗?原帖标题这么写的吗?有点好笑。

维护成本这点戳心,我那套配置每次插件更新都得重调

工作流搭太花最后全耗在调工具链上,写代码反而少了

其实看人,重度用的折腾这套有收益,轻度确实够用了

稳定是稳定,但补全的活儿和这种全流程编排不是一回事

这套组合拳维护成本太高,插件一更新又得调半天

我也觉得太重,开箱即用对我这种懒人更友好
