Cursor Project Rules

:books: About

Cursor Project Rules is a collection of local documentation that instructs the Cursor AI on how to work efficiently with modern frameworks and libraries. Unlike web-scraped documentation that might be outdated or incomplete, these rules provide Cursor’s AI with accurate, comprehensive, and immediately accessible information.

Why Local Documentation?

  • Performance: No need to wait for web scraping or API calls
  • Accuracy: Carefully curated information without HTML parsing errors
  • Completeness: Full documentation coverage without token limitations
  • Reliability: Works even without internet connection

:sparkles: Available Rules

This repository includes documentation for:

Rule Description
AI SDK Complete guides for using the Vercel AI SDK with various LLM providers
