NSF project summary drafting
The author used Cursor in Agent mode with Claude 3.7 Sonnet and two rules files to draft an NSF Project Summary from two papers.
The draft was usable but weaker than accepted NSF summaries; thinking mode helped, though it began hallucinating and misreading the sources.
Overview
How it was set up
Cursor Agent mode, claude-3.7-sonnet, one rules file for NSF requirements, one for academic writing, section markdown files, and a reference folder with two papers as text.
Worth knowing
The writing rule was not reliably picked up unless @-mentioned. Thinking mode was needed, and the output still needed heavy critique.
A prompt to start from
