Good system instructions for a node project?

General

I use cursor for various projects and languages but was curious if it’s worth it or if people strongly recommend any Rules for AI instructions??

Apologies if this is not exactly what you were asking about, but I believe that Cursor ignores everything in .gitignore files by default.

This seems to be GitHub’s official list of .gitignore templates - there is a Node template listed there:

https://github.com/github/gitignore

If you were more asking about tips on how to scaffold a new Node project, perhaps you could try the new Composer feature (Ctrl + I), and prompt it with something like:

Please create a folder named TestNodeProject and within that folder create a simple demonstration Node application that follows all modern Node best practices, including a main route file and other, separate, route and middleware files. Please add simple comments within the files that highlight the best practices being applied. Please also include comments that provide a high level overview of the structure and functionality of the app and how to use it.

Here is a post that shows how to use Composer if you haven’t used it already:

Apologies if you were asking about something else, if you were, perhaps reply with more specifics and I’m sure someone will reply.
