Lazy Hack 💤 - Fully Automating Cursor Lazily

This project runs Cursor autonomously using keyboard shortcuts and sound detection because we are very lazy.

The Even Lazier Algorithm (Fully Automated)

1. Initial Prompt: The script starts by asking Cursor to create PRD.md (requirements) and status.md (tasks).
2. Wait: Listens for the AI completion sound.
3. Accept: Sends Cmd + Enter.
4. New Tab: Opens a new chat tab (Ctrl + Cmd + T).
5. Prompt "Proceed": Types let's proceed to build this app and hits Enter.
6. Wait: Listens for the AI completion sound.
7. Accept: Sends Cmd + Enter.
8. New Tab: Opens a new chat tab (Ctrl + Cmd + T).
9. Prompt "Summarize": Types summarize our state of work in status.md and hits Enter.
10. Loop: Go back to step 2 and keep being lazy.

How to Run (The Lazy Way)

1. Clone: Get this repo.
2. Setup Env:
   • python -m venv .venv
   • Activate it (e.g., source .venv/bin/activate or your activate alias).
   • pip install -r requirements.txt
   • (Optional) Create a .env file if you need to override sound detection defaults (see auto_builder.py).
3. Setup Cursor:
   • IMPORTANT: Open a new, empty Cursor window in a separate folder (e.g., mkdir app && code app). This keeps your project clean.
   • Make sure Cursor is the active, focused window.
   • Set these Keyboard Shortcuts in Cursor:
     • File: New Chat Tab -> Ctrl + Cmd + T
     • Chat: Focus Input -> Cmd + L
     • (Implied) Accept changes likely uses Cmd + Enter by default.
4. Run the Bot:
   • In a terminal outside the app folder (i.e., in this lazy-cursor folder), run: python auto_builder.py
5. Watch & Be Lazy: The script will take over the Cursor window in the app folder.

Our Lazy Cursor Rules (Summary)

• TDD: We try to follow Test-Driven Development.
• Secrets: Use .env for secrets.
• Environment: Always use a .venv created with python -m venv .venv and activate it.
• Project Definition: PRD.md holds the project description.
• Project Status: status.md tracks progress and next steps.
• Control: The script reads PRD.md and status.md when told to "proceed".

Now go be lazy and let the script do the work!
