Cursor Rules Collection

39+ ready-to-use .cursorrules files for Cursor IDE — supercharge your AI coding assistant with framework-specific rules.

What are Cursor Rules?

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor. .cursorrules files tell Cursor's AI about your project's conventions, tech stack, and coding patterns — making AI-generated code match your style perfectly.

Drop a .cursorrules file in your project root, and Cursor automatically uses it to generate better, more consistent code.
