Dear Cursor sages🌟: v1.0 is here and I want to craft the ultimate Cursor setup—please help a humble traveler!

System Context

I’ve been using Cursor regularly, but let’s be honest—between .cursorrules, custom models, and the ever-growing list of config keys with every frequent update…
I’m lost, y’all. Can’t keep up. Just can’t.

And I bet I’m not the only one. I know a ton of people out there feel the same.

So, with the release of v1.0…
I want to take this moment to build what I believe is the ultimate Cursor setup!!!
Dear Cursor sages, please help me out here!!! I’m seriously begging you!!!

Also, I’m a Japanese user. While I can read the docs with translation, it’s still hard to grasp the real intention or best practices behind many of the settings—especially with new features coming so fast.
So instead of just reading alone, I’d really appreciate hearing from people actually using v1.0 in real projects.

Even if you don’t have a full list—please just give me one “If-you-do-nothing-else-do-this” recommendation!!! That kind of wisdom is exactly what I need right now!!!

Who this setup is for (persona)

People who live in Agent Mode 24/7 and only use the latest models.
(aka: me… and probably half this forum)

Gratitude in advance to the devs & community

You devs and veterans are the true Cursor gods, sages, wizards, and glorious nerds.
Even your tiniest insights = gold.

Thank you for whatever you can share. I love y’all. For real.

Have you tried official docs? .cursorrules will be deprecated soon, here’s two important links:

Cursor – Rules

Cursor – Custom Modes
