## Why This Matters

Devin impressed many by acting like an intern who writes its own plan, updates that plan as it progresses, and even evolves based on your feedback. But you dont need Devins $500/month subscription to get most of that functionality. By customizing the .cursorrules file, plus a few Python scripts, youll unlock the same advanced features inside Cursor.

**Option 1: Using Cookiecutter (Recommended)**
20+
```bash
21+
# Install cookiecutter if you haven't
22+
pip install cookiecutter
23+
24+
# Create a new project
25+
cookiecutter gh:grapeot/devin.cursorrules --checkout template

Whenever you correct the AI, it can update its lessons learned in .cursorrules. Over time, it accumulates project-specific knowledge and gets smarter with each iteration. It makes AI a coachable and coach-worthy partner.
