If you are using Cursor, this is a pretty cool collection of rules (read: prompts) that you can add to your projects and try to make it generate better code or match certain styles better:

My .cursorrules:

- be good at coding
- don’t be bad at coding

.cursorrules file by Julian Harris, which he stated that it codifies decades of project management experience.

I’m not sure how the .cursorrules file works, but it’s really long. It might end up taking up the entire context window of the model.

That’s just Cursor with a sufficiently deranged .cursorrules

Hey ! 😊 Is anyone here using Cursor for a NestJS / Hexagonal architecture project ?

Could you please share your .cursorrules file with me ?

Something I found really useful when working with context on Cursor:

When diving into an existing codebase, use @codebase with o1 and generate a file laying out the detailed hierarchy + specs.

Then dump everything into .cursorrules

🚨 Active supply chain attack across npm, PyPI, and Crates.io. 34+ packages stealing crypto wallets, SSH keys, and cloud creds. The malware even plants poisoned .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md files to weaponize AI coding assistants.

Claude Code 2.1.277 reads AGENTS.md. Merge .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md and Copilot rules into one file, minus one file you still need.

Used Cursor to build a .cursorrules file for my LMS project—it literally wrote its own instructions! The syntax feels like a mix of YAML and Django models, which is super logical and easy to follow. Funny how tools writing their own rules just makes sense. Check it out: replit.com/@SamuelThoyr...

Perhaps you’ve already been down that road, but apparently Cursor supports .cursorrules files (aka system prompts) that you can put along your codebase for more accurate results.

Not sure if these work as promised though, haven’t had the time to experiment with it yet.

At this time it seems that something is better than nothing, and this generic one is a great starting point to which you can add any preferred coding guidelines. The repo also has lots of language/framework-specific versions.

You can find a lot of these at cursor.directory

If you're using Cursor and you're a Motion+ member, check out the .cursorrules in our private repo.

I'm building out a Motion 🧠 copilot and I'd love to hear your feedback. It contains import rules, best practises, performance tips, Radix patterns etc

これからのコーディング面接は「あなたの手元で育てた .clinerules / .cursorrules / CLAUDE\.md / copilot-instructions\.md 等々を使って時間内にこの前提条件と要件のソフトウェアを開発してデモを見せてください」というものになるかもしれないね、という立ち話をしていた

You don't need a reasoning model like R1 or o3, just use this .cursorrules with Claude Sonnet to add a thinking step, works 100x better.
