A curated collection of highly effective `.cursorrules` templates tailored for different technology stacks and team workflows.
The Cursor IDE uses a .cursorrules file to instruct the built-in AI (like Claude 3.5 Sonnet or GPT-4o) on how to understand your codebase, format code, and adhere to project-specific architectural guidelines.
This repository provides copy-paste ready .cursorrules files designed to dramatically improve the quality and consistency of AI generation across your projects.
- React / Next.js: Rules for Server Components, hooks, Tailwind CSS, and strict typing.
- Python / FastAPI: Guidelines for Pydantic v2, dependency injection, and PEP 8 formatting.
- Go / Microservices: Emphasizes idiomatic Go, minimal dependencies, and robust error handling.
- Node.js / Express: Focuses on async/await, centralized error handling, and modular routing.
- System Design / Architecture: Rules forcing the AI to outline architecture before writing implementation code.
- Check the
rules/directory for the stack that matches your project. - Copy the content of the relevant file.
- Create a
.cursorrulesfile in the root directory of your project. - Paste the content and modify any project-specific details.
- Reload your Cursor window.
