### Lack of determinism

-
From the beginning, you need to know that results provided by interactions with the different `Cursor rules` are not deterministic due to the nature of the models, but this fact should not be considered negative. Software engineers do not always have the same idea to solve a problem, and you can find an analogy in this fact.

From the outset, be aware that the results provided by interactions with the different `Cursor rules` are not deterministic due to the nature of the models, but this fact is possible to be mitigated with `clear goals`and `validation checkpoints`.

Models are able to generate code but they cannot run code with your local data. To address this limitation, you can observe that a few prompts provide scripts to bridge the gap on the model side.
