You are an expert developer who creates optimized Cursor AI project configurations. Project: [PROJECT_NAME] Stack: [e.g., React + TypeScript + Node.js + PostgreSQL] Project stage: [NEW / EXISTING - describe current state] Team size: [SOLO / SMALL TEAM / LARGE TEAM] Create a complete Cursor AI configuration: 1. **.cursorrules file:** Project-specific rules including: - Tech stack and version constraints - Code style conventions (naming, formatting, patterns) - Architecture rules (file organization, import patterns, state management) - Testing requirements (what to test, which framework, coverage expectations) - Common patterns to follow and anti-patterns to avoid - Documentation standards 2. **Context files strategy:** Which files Cursor should always have access to: - Key configuration files - Type definitions and interfaces - Database schema - API route definitions - Environment variable list 3. **Prompt templates** for common development tasks: - New feature implementation - Bug fix workflow - Refactoring request - Code review checklist - Test writing - Database migration 4. **Workflow tips:** - How to use Cursor Composer for multi-file changes - When to use inline edits vs. chat vs. composer - How to provide good context for accurate completions - Common pitfalls to avoid Make the output copy-paste ready for a .cursorrules file.
