Cursor rules customize AI behavior in the Cursor IDE. Define coding standards, frameworks, and preferences to get consistent, high-quality code generation.
Cursor Rules are configuration files that shape how Cursor's AI assistant understands your project and generates code. By defining rules, you can specify your preferred coding style, framework conventions, and project-specific patterns.
A well-crafted .cursorrules file can dramatically improve code quality by teaching the AI your team's conventions, preferred libraries, and architectural patterns. Whether you're working with React, Python, or any other technology, rules ensure consistent output.

Cursor rules are configuration files (.cursorrules) that customize how Cursor's AI generates code. They define coding standards, preferred frameworks, project structure, and other preferences to ensure consistent, high-quality output.
Place your .cursorrules file in the root directory of your project. Cursor automatically detects this file and applies the rules to all AI interactions within that project.
Cursor uses one .cursorrules file per project. However, you can create different rule sets for different projects or combine multiple rule templates into a single comprehensive file.
Yes, Cursor rules work with all AI models available in Cursor, including GPT-4, Claude, and others. The rules are applied as context to every AI interaction.
Create your own Cursor rules and share them with the community.
