Cursor Usage Analysis — Tomas Paulus

Based on analysis of 345 conversations from August 2025 to February 2026 Prepared for Cursor Workshop (February 2026)

Overview

Tomas uses Cursor as his primary work environment — not just as a code editor, but as an AI-powered operating system for his entire professional and personal workflow. The usage spans software development, content creation, marketing, business strategy, design, automation, personal health tracking, and creative projects. He communicates with Cursor in Slovak, Czech, and English interchangeably.

The workspace is organized as a monorepo called "Vibecoding" that contains multiple projects, tools, and context folders — essentially a second brain managed through Cursor.

Key Patterns & Insights

How Tomas Works with Cursor

Cursor as Operating System — Not just an editor. It's the central hub for ALL work: code, copy, strategy, personal tracking, creative projects.
Markdown as Universal Format — Everything flows through markdown: strategy documents, content, team updates, health logs. Cursor converts between markdown ↔ HTML ↔ Framer ↔ CSV.
Multi-language Workflow — Conversations happen naturally in Slovak, Czech, and English, often mixing languages within the same session.
Monorepo as Second Brain — The "Vibecoding" workspace is a personal knowledge management system with projects, context files, tools, and inbox — all managed through Cursor.
AI as Expert Panel — Simulates expert panels (pricing strategists, SaaS experts, marketing specialists) for strategic decisions.
Pipeline Thinking — Builds end-to-end pipelines: content → images → audio → web publishing. Uses Cursor to orchestrate multiple AI APIs (OpenRouter, Gemini, ElevenLabs, Replicate).
Design System First — Created reusable design systems (pages_ds) and generates all web pages from them, ensuring visual consistency.
Daily Driver — Used every day, including weekends. Daily health logs and work sessions are continuous.
MCP Power User — Uses Model Context Protocol for Framer, Make.com, and browser automation, extending Cursor beyond local files.
Iterative & Incremental — Conversations show iterative refinement: first draft → expert analysis → visual polish → deployment.

Frequency by Day (approximate)
