Better onboarding - Curated cursor rules for common flows

I just remembered that GitHub allows you to reuse templates when you create a new project. It would be extremely helpful if:

  1. Cursor maintained a set of “blessed” cursor rules for common use-cases like NextJS webapps or Python scripts for data processing. Moreover, this may actually also encourage the frontier labs to work better on such a “blessed” set of rules.

  2. A new project onboarding flow that lets you create a new project on GitHub without ever having to visit github.com. And this flow lets you reuse one of these “blessed” sets of cursor rules.

That’s a nice idea. In the latest version of bun v1.2.15 when you run bun init it automatically adds a simple rules file bun/src/init/rule.md at main · oven-sh/bun · GitHub if it detects a .cursor folder so hopefully more ecosystems add similar things.
