So far, the AI tools here are for software engineer, I’ve explored the ai tools by non tech users and the products build though not perfect are mind blowing
Your framing of Claude Code vs Cursor is exactly right - one-shot solutions vs iterative refinement. I've landed on a similar split in my workflow.
The nested Claude.md tip is gold. I started with a single file but it got unwieldy at 200+ lines. Now I have domain-specific instruction files that Claude pulls in based on context.
The Explore → Plan → Code flow you describe has become non-negotiable for me. Before I learned this, I'd give Claude a task and watch it go in circles. Now plan mode is where I spend most of my prompting effort.
