# First Prompt for Cursor
Copy and paste this prompt into Cursor after adding the DNA folder to your project:
---
## The Prompt
```
I've added a DNA folder to this project containing the complete specification for Fraim Context MCP v5.1 — a semantic search MCP server for project documentation.
Please:
1. **Read these files in order:**
- DNA/.cursorrules (your constraints — MEMORIZE the critical constraints section)
- DNA/MANIFEST.md (project navigation)
- DNA/DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md (TDD stages and current progress)
- DNA/specs/ARCHITECTURE.md (system design)
- DNA/specs/CONTRACTS.md (API/DB schemas)
- DNA/specs/DEPENDENCIES.md (pinned versions)
2. **Then tell me:**
- What is this project building?
- What stage are we at in DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md?
- What are the next 3 specific tasks to complete?
- What files/directories need to be created first?
3. **Important constraints:**
- All specs in DNA/specs/ are READ-ONLY — do not modify them
- We use TDD: write tests FIRST, then implementation
- All secrets come from Doppler (never create .env files)
- LLM access is via Pydantic AI Gateway (not direct provider calls)
4. **To get started, I need you to:**
- Copy DNA/.cursorrules to the project root as .cursorrules
- Copy DNA/pyproject.toml to the project root
- Create the initial directory structure (src/fraim_mcp/, tests/)
- Create Stage 0 test files
Let's begin!
```
---
## What Happens Next
After you send this prompt, Cursor should:
1. ✅ Read all the DNA files to understand the project
2. ✅ Confirm it's at Stage 0 (Environment Setup)
3. ✅ List the first tasks (Doppler setup, secrets verification)
4. ✅ Create the project structure and initial test files
5. ✅ Start writing Stage 0 tests for:
- Doppler CLI availability
- Required secrets present
- PostgreSQL connectivity
- Redis connectivity
- LLM API reachability
## Follow-Up Prompts
After the initial setup, use these prompts:
**To check progress:**
```
What tasks are complete in DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md? What's next?
```
**To run tests:**
```
Run the Stage 0 tests and tell me what passed/failed.
```
**To proceed to next stage:**
```
All Stage 0 tests pass. Update DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md and start Stage 1.
```
**To get help:**
```
I'm stuck on [specific issue]. Check DNA/specs/ for the relevant contract and help me fix it.
```
## Slash Commands
Once .cursorrules is in place, you can use these shortcuts:
| Command | What It Does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/test-all` | Run entire test suite |
| `/test-unit` | Run Stage 0-1 tests only |
| `/sync-deps` | Install dependencies with uv |
| `/verify-env` | Check environment setup |
| `/init-db` | Initialize PostgreSQL schema |
| `/launch-server` | Start the HTTP server |
| `/launch-ui` | Start Streamlit test UI |
