I am an indie hacker based in Kyiv, Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Since electricity here is unpredictable (blackouts), I cannot afford to waste time watching AI apologize ("I apologize for the confusion") or write broken code. I need it to be perfect on the first try.

Windsurf and Cursor are great tools, but out of the box, they act like Junior Developers: they explain obvious things, lose context, and hallucinate APIs.

The Solution: "Senior Architect" Protocol

I spent my weekend reverse-engineering a System Prompt to force the AI into what I call "Senior Architect Mode".

It enforces:

1. NO yapping (concise answers only).
2. Strict TypeScript types (no any).
3. Modular file structure constraints.

The Core Rule (Free to use)

Here is the "Communication Protocol" part of my rule. You can copy-paste this into your Windsurf/Cursor settings (.cursorrules or Global Rules):

text
### COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
- Be concise. Do not offer unasked advice.
- Do not apologize.
- Do not say "Here is the code". Just provide the code block.
- Focus 100% on the solution.
- If the solution is complex, plan it step-by-step first.

The Result
After applying this, the AI stopped explaining useEffect to me and started writing production-ready code instantly. It saves me about 30-40 minutes of debugging per day.
Want the full setup?
I bundled up my complete configuration pack, which includes:

- The Core Architect Prompt (Full version)
- Next.js & React Specialist Rules
- Python/FastAPI Specialist Rules
- One-Click Project Bootstrapper

I put it on Gumroad for the price of a coffee ($9) to support my work.
