Mock: the onsite small project

Put this idea into your own words: "The question underneath it is blunt."

Step 1 of 3

Cursor's onsite includes a “small project,” and for a builder-PM that almost always means prototype-with-AI or a tight written spec for a real Cursor problem. The question underneath it is blunt: can you take a fuzzy gap and turn it into something a developer would actually use, fast, yourself.

The three mocks in this module map onto the onsite stages. Step through what each stage actually grades.

You can't get the exact prompt, but you can rehearse the shape. Pick one real Cursor gap, set a hard 90-minute clock and run it end to end: a one-page spec, then a thin working prototype, then a two-minute demo. Narrate your cuts and prompting the whole way, because the reasoning is graded as hard as the artifact.
