Configuration rules (.cursorrules)
The .cursorrules feature of Cursor provides a customized prompt for the AI assistant.
By placing a .cursorrules file in the root directory of the project, we can provide more context for Cursor editing in this file. For example, we can:
- Specify the technology stack of the project
- Set development standards
- Guide the AI’s problem-solving approach
- Create custom instructions
Such presets can significantly improve the accuracy and relevance of the code generated by Cursor, making it better aligned with project requirements.
