Blog drafts from Obsidian notes
The author set Cursor to imitate their note.com writing style and read their Obsidian vault, then had it draft blog articles quoting past reading highlights.
Cursor drafted an article on their reading trends in their style, citing Kindle highlights from the vault. The author edited it by hand.
Overview
How it was set up
Cursor with custom User Rules describing the author's writing style, plus a local Obsidian vault of Markdown files (Kindle highlights, event notes, daily notes) referenced by directory path.
Worth knowing
The generated text still feels slightly off and needed substantial manual editing. The author says it can't be left entirely to the AI.
A prompt to start from
Follow my writing style as described in [style notes or blog URL]. Use the Markdown notes in [vault path] as your knowledge base. When quoting a book, use a blockquote with the book title and author. Draft an article on [topic].
