Mastering Cursor Rules: From Basics to Advanced

4.6

In this project, we will explore Cursor’s rules from the fundamentals to advanced usage. You will learn how to organize and create rules effectively within the Cursor IDE. The project is designed to help you understand the structure of Cursor’s rules and build a simple app that showcases their power. We will cover topics such as the differences between global and local rules, the process of creating rules, and best practices in naming and writing rule descriptions. Additionally, you'll get insights into bonus areas like rule inheritance and even the legacy way of using rules.

Inharetence doesn't work for me. Type of rule changes only from UI (may be after update). coding-standarts.mdc doesn't exist's

just by following the tutorial, the agent gets confused because the coding-standards rule mdc file doesn't exist and is inherently biased in writing it in json

Simply the best of its kind.

This is a very clear explanation of the cursor rules. Although the agent does not work perfectly for the first time, it handles the errors and fixes them subsequently.

Generating mdc files was broken but I used a workaround I found online. I noticed that coding-standards.mdc would not apply when generating new python files so I had to make it always apply. Not sure if that is a bug with Cursor

Was pretyt impressive. ALthough you could have done more to go into setting it up with an existing project. Since people may have fear of it being deleting or something.
