Project Summary

This repository curates .cursorrules files, custom instructions for the Cursor AI code editor, enabling tailored AI behavior, consistent coding standards, and project-specific context awareness. It targets developers seeking to enhance productivity and team alignment by providing project-specific AI guidance.

How It Works

.cursorrules files are placed in a project's root directory, allowing Cursor AI to interpret and apply custom rules during code generation. This approach leverages the AI's ability to understand and adhere to project-specific instructions, improving the relevance and accuracy of AI-generated code.

Quick Start & Requirements

  • Install Cursor AI.
  • Browse rules and copy a .cursorrules file to your project's root directory.
  • Alternatively, install the vscode-cursor-rules extension and use the command palette to add a .cursorrules file.
  • Customize rules as needed.
  • Official documentation: https://cursor.sh/

Highlighted Details

  • Extensive collection of .cursorrules files categorized by technology (Frontend, Backend, Mobile, CSS, State Management, Databases, Testing, etc.).
  • Includes rules for popular frameworks and libraries like Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, and various backend technologies (Node.js, Python, Go, Java, PHP).
  • Features specific sections for language-specific best practices, build tools, and utilities.
  • Provides guidance on contributing new .cursorrules files with a clear contribution structure.

Maintenance & Community

  • Contributions are welcome via pull requests.
  • Guidelines for contributions are detailed in the root .cursorrules file.

Licensing & Compatibility

  • The repository's license is not explicitly stated in the README.

Limitations & Caveats
