# Have Cursor plan and create your folder structure

Cursor pro tip:

1\. ask it to recommend a folder structure
2\. ask it to actually create the folder/files based on that

this makes it 10x easier for me to get started and Cursor is more accurate using codebase cos it knows where to update files.
