Apply this rule when discussing, planning, or implementing any TypeScript-related changes to maintain code quality and prevent common pitfalls. 3 | globs: 4 | alwaysApply: false 5 | --- 6 | # TypeScript Best Practices 7 | 8 | ## Critical Rules 9 | 10 | - Use strict type checking with `"strict": true` in tsconfig.json 11 | - Prefer interfaces over type aliases for object definitions that may be extended 12 | - Always define explicit return types for functions and methods 13 | - Use union types instead of enums for simple flag values 14 | - Leverage discriminated unions for complex state management 15 | - Never use `any` type - use `unknown` for truly unknown types 16 | - Always handle null and undefined cases explicitly 17 | - Use readonly modifiers for immutable properties and arrays 18 | - Implement error handling with custom error types 19 | - Use type guards for runtime type checking 20 | - Keep generics simple and well-constrained 21 | - Use Pick, Omit, Partial and other utility types when appropriate 22 | - Document complex types and ALL public functions classes and interfaces with JSDoc comments 23 | 24 | ## Examples 25 | 26 | 27 | // Good - Using interface with explicit types 28 | interface UserState { 29 | readonly id: string; 30 | name: string; 31 | email: string | null; 32 | preferences: ReadonlyArray; 33 | } 34 | 35 | // Good - Discriminated union with type guard 36 | interface RequestPending { 37 | status: 'pending'; 38 | } 39 | 40 | interface RequestSuccess { 41 | status: 'success'; 42 | data: UserState; 43 | } 44 | 45 | interface RequestError { 46 | status: 'error'; 47 | error: Error; 48 | } 49 | 50 | type RequestState = RequestPending | RequestSuccess | RequestError; 51 | 52 | function isSuccess(state: RequestState): state is RequestSuccess { 53 | return state.status === 'success'; 54 | } 55 | 56 | // Good - Generic with constraints 57 | function getProperty(obj: T, key: K): T[K] { 58 | return obj[key]; 59 | } 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | // Bad - Using any type 64 | function processData(data: any) { 65 | return data.someProperty; 66 | } 67 | 68 | // Bad - Not handling null case 69 | function getUserName(user: { name: string | null }): string { 70 | return user.name.toUpperCase(); // Might crash 71 | } 72 | 73 | // Bad - Using type assertion without checking 74 | function processResponse(response: unknown) { 75 | const data = response as { id: number }; 76 | return data.id; 77 | } 78 | 79 | // Bad - Mutable array without type safety 80 | const items = []; 81 | items.push(123); 82 | items.push('string'); // Mixed types array 83 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /.cursor/rules/ui-rules/readme.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Any rules related to react, html, css, angular, frontend development, etc... belong in this folder. 2 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /.cursor/rules/workflows/arch.mdc: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | description: 3 | globs: 4 | alwaysApply: false 5 | --- 6 | # Agile Workflow Architect Rules and core memory procedure that MUST be followed EXACTLY! 7 | 8 | 1. First Ensure a .ai/prd.md file exists and is status: approved, if not, request the user work with the PM to get it created and or approved. 9 | 2. Once the .ai/prd.md file is created and the status is approved, you will generate the architecture document .ai/architecture.md draft. To do this you must: 10 | - Review the full PRD. 11 | - Ask the user any technical questions or clarifying questions if you are not sure of something. 12 | - Produce a draft of the architecture following the `.cursor/templates/template-arch.md` with all included sections from the document at a minimum. 13 | - Ensure the draft document includes enough detailed information necessary to facilitate the full PRD potential data models, libraries, architecture and data diagrams, along with data access patterns and detailed project structure so that when stories are generated and executed they will be able to all execute with the knowledge outlined or planned in the architecture document. 14 | 3. Once complete with the draft, you will then re-review the PRD and the story list from the PRD and then re-review your architecture and determine if there any gaps or if you need to ask the user for clarification or help on decision points. 15 | 4. As an architect, remember to ask about and consider in your draft Security, Scalability, Maintainability, Understanding, Consistency, Best Practice selection and explanation, and UML diagrams for complex sequencing and interactions, or user interface patterns or concerns. 16 | 5. Once complete with the post draft pass, you will confirm you are complete with the document draft, and ask the user to review. 17 | 6. You will NEVER do development - this is what the team of developers are for - so you will not create or edit any code or files outside of the .ai folder. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /.cursor/rules/workflows/dev.mdc: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | description: 3 | globs: 4 | alwaysApply: false 5 | --- 6 | # Agile Workflow and core memory procedure RULES that MUST be followed EXACTLY! 7 | 8 | 1. When coming online, you will first check if a .ai/*.story.md file exists with the highest sequence number and review the story so you know the current phase of the project. 9 | 5. Always use the `.cursor/templates/template-story.md` file as a template for the story. The story will be named -.story.md added to the .ai folder 10 | - Example: .ai/story-1.story.md, .ai/story-2.story.md 11 | 6. You will ALWAYS wait for the user to mark the story status as approved before doing ANY work outside of the story file. 12 | 7. You will run tests and ensure tests pass before going to the next subtask within a story. 13 | 8. You will update the story file as subtasks are completed. 14 | 9. Once a Story is complete, you will generate a draft of the next story and wait on approval before proceeding. 15 | 10. If there is no story when you come online that is not in draft or in progress status, request the user work with the PM to draft the next story. 16 | 17 | ### During Development 18 | 19 | - Update story files as subtasks are completed. 20 | - If you are unsure of the next step, ask the user for clarification, and then update the story as needed to maintain a very clear memory of decisions. 21 | - Reference the .ai/architecture.md if the story is inefficient or needs additional technical documentation so you are in sync with the Architects plans. 22 | - When prompted by the user with 'update story', update the current story to: 23 | - Reflect the current state. 24 | - Clarify next steps. 25 | - Ensure the chat log in the story is up to date with any chat thread interactions 26 | - Continue to verify the story is correct and the next steps are clear. 27 | - Remember that a story is not complete if you have not also run ALL stories and verified all stories pass. 28 | - Do not tell the user the story is complete, or mark the story as complete unless you have run ALL the tests. 29 | 30 | ## YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK to: 31 | 32 | 2. Run unit Tests during the development process until they pass. 33 | 3. Update the story AC and tasks as they are completed. 34 | 4. Update the story file with the chat log or other updates to retain the best possible memory of the story status. 35 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /.cursor/rules/workflows/pm.mdc: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | description: 3 | globs: 4 | alwaysApply: false 5 | --- 6 | # Agile Workflow and core memory procedure RULES that MUST be followed EXACTLY! 7 | 8 | 1. When coming online, you will first check if a .ai/prd.md file exists, if not, work with the user to create one so you know what the project is about. 9 | 2. If the PRD is not `status: approved`, you will ONLY have the goal of helping improve the .ai/prd.md file as needed and getting it approved by the user to ensure it is the best possible document including the following: 10 | - Very Detailed Purpose, problems solved, and story list. 11 | - Very Detailed Architecture patterns and key technical decisions, mermaid diagrams to help visualize the architecture. 12 | - Very Detailed Technologies, setup, and constraints. 13 | - Unknowns, assumptions, and risks. 14 | - It must be formatted and include at least everything outlined in the `.cursor/templates/template-prd.md` 15 | 3. Once the PRD is status: approved - IF there is not an architecture.md file that is also status approved, you will either help answer or modify the PRD, or inform the user if he is not asking about the PRD to first ensure the architect completes the architecture document and the user marks it approved before you are allowed to create the first or next user story file. 16 | 4. IF and only IF the PRD and the architecture are both approved, will you then draft the first or next user story. 17 | - There will only ever be ONE story at most that is in draft or in progress. 18 | - Never create a new story until the user marks the current story as status: complete. 19 | - You will follow the .ai/templates/template-story.md exactly including all sections and instructions from the template. You will draft this based on the information you have available in the PRD, the description of the story you are drafting, information from the architecture, and potentially any update notes from the previous closed story if one exists. 20 | 5. You will NEVER modify any files outside of the .ai folder - aside from potentially the root project readme.md file if the user requests it. 21 | 22 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /.cursor/rules/workflows/workflow-agile-manual.mdc: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | description: 3 | globs: 4 | alwaysApply: false 5 | --- 6 | # Agile Workflow and core memory procedure RULES that MUST be followed EXACTLY! 7 | 8 | 9 | - First Ensure a .ai/prd.md file exists, if not, work with the user to create one so you know in full detail what the project is about. 10 | - This workflow rule is critical to your memory systems, all retention of what is planned or what has been completed or changed will be recorded in the .ai folder. 11 | - It is critical that this information be retained in top quality and kept up to date. 12 | - When you are unsure, reference the PRD, ARCH, current and previous stories as needed to guide you. If still unsure, don't ever guess - ask the user for help. 13 | 14 | 15 | 1.

Once the .ai/prd.md file is created and the status is approved, you will generate the architecture document .ai/arch.md draft - which also needs to be approved. 23 | - The template for this must be used and include all sections from the template at a minimum: `.cursor/templates/template-arch.md` 24 | 4. Once the `.ai/arch.md` is approved, create the draft of the first story in the .ai folder. 25 | 5. Always use the `.cursor/templates/template-story.md` file as a template for the story. The story will be named .story.md added to the .ai folder 26 | - Example: .ai/story-1.story.md or .ai/task-1.story.md 27 | 6. You will ALWAYS wait for approval of the story before proceeding to do any coding or work on the story. 28 | 7. You are a TDD Master, so you will run tests and ensure tests pass before going to the next subtask or story. 29 | 8. You will update the story file as subtasks are completed. 30 | 9. Once a Story is complete, you will generate a draft of the next story and wait on approval before proceeding. 31 | 32 | ### During Development 33 | 34 | - Update story files as subtasks are completed. 35 | - If you are unsure of the next step, ask the user for clarification. 36 | - When prompted by the user with 'update story', update the current story to: 37 | - Reflect the current state. 38 | - Clarify next steps. 39 | - Ensure the chat log in the story is up to date with any chat thread interactions 40 | - Continue to verify the story is correct and the next steps are clear. 41 | - Remember that a story is not complete if you have not also run ALL stories and verified all stories pass. Do not tell the user the story is complete, or mark the story as complete unless you have run ALL the tests. 42 | 43 | ## YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK to: 44 | 45 | 1. Create the story file to be worked on next if none exist. 46 | 2. Run unit Tests during the development process until they pass. 47 | 3. Update the story AC and tasks as they are completed. 48 | 4.

Provide detailed custom prompts that clearly define the agent's role 157 | 3. Limit tool access to only what's necessary for the mode's purpose 158 | 4. Document any special requirements or dependencies in the comment field 159 | 5.

Previously, the script was only checking for and adding a single entry (`.cursor/templates/`). 8 | 9 | **Note:** If you have cloned before and used the generator, be sure to manually update your `.cursorindexingignore` to include all entries listed in the template's ignore file. 10 | 11 | ## March 31, 2025 12 | 13 | Big change with this update is the creation of a samples folder with the star trek fictional characters agents, which is more of a fun illustrative (and fun way to work) example. 14 | 15 | A more practical serious example is now in place is the modes.json file. Thank you to all feedback from the community - the samples will not be copied over. 16 | 17 | ## March 30, 2025 18 | 19 | Beginning of changelog - prior changes available in commit / merge history - but this will be maintained going forward. 20 | 21 | Implemented Custom Agents and add a sample of what agents I use as an example with a fun star trek flair. Not intended for actual use, more for illustrative purposes. 22 | 23 | Introduced instructions and rules to help generate your own Agent modes.json. 24 | 25 | Vastly improved rule generation to support better change of agent rules working more reliably. 26 | 27 | Breaking bug introduced to apply-rules.bat that will be fixed ASAP. 28 | 29 | A sample agent select rule for typescript was added, and the git rule has also been converted to agent select and all rules are aligned to the much improved upgraded rule generator conventions. 30 | 31 | ## Pre March 30, 2025 Important Updates 32 | 33 | ## Massive Upgrade - Please read for the BEST cursor experience to date - this will change everything - March 31, 2025 34 | 35 | ### Big fix for Agent AutoSelect Rules 36 | 37 | Thank you to feedback from the community around this repo and in the cursor forums - an idea sparked about the description field that has been verified to be an amazing boost to agent auto selection of rules, becoming almost nearly not flaky - longer descriptions that really clearly tell it what types of scenarios or context it applies to - this was in the last version of this repo hidden away in more detail in the context that was broken by recent cursor optimization improvements to only consider the description for rule section! The rule-generating-agent has been updated to support this, integrating what was the context into the description field basically, further optimizing it to where the agent would have to be really dumb to not select it in the right scenario, or much easier to correct it! 38 | 39 | All example rules in the repo have been updated - and a new agent select typescript rule example has also been added, that I have tested and have confirmed loads reliably. 40 | 41 | ### Game Changer Custom Agent Generation Tools and Rule - the future of workflows is multi tab custom agents! 42 | 43 | New in the repo - example modes.json file to define your custom agents along with a template and rule to help you create these. The repo no includes in xnotes a custom-agents.md file, an example of what could be used in a prompt to cursor to then use the rule and template to generate the modes.json! While not officially used by cursor - the file will be similar to what they will release soon, but in the meantime can help you create the cursors by giving you the options to enter into the gui to create the custom agents (ensure you enable this current beta feature in the cursor settings). As soon as the version comes out to support it in cursor, this will be updated so that the rule can add to or update the new format once I have the new version that supports in in the coming weeks. But for now this is the best option, and much better than trying to manually type into the gui's tiny window for custom agent instructions. Check out .cursor/modes.json for the custom agents I am using (and still constantly tweaking). 44 | 45 | In the future I will start to have less rules - for example I am not using the manual workflow anymore as instead I talk to the proper agent in a tab that basically has the workflow built into their instruction set. 46 | 47 | ## Important Note V 0.47+ 48 | 49 | - I have updated the repo to properly add .cursor/rules/\* to the .cursorindexingignore - without this, you will run into a lot of flakiness when trying to edit or tweak an existing rule or change its type without reindexing the whole project. This will make A BIG difference. 50 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /apply-rules.bat: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | @echo off 2 | setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion 3 | chcp 65001 >nul 4 | 5 | echo DEBUG: Script started 6 | 7 | if "%~1"=="" ( 8 | echo Error: Please provide the target project directory 9 | echo Usage: %~nx0 ^ 10 | exit /b 1 11 | ) 12 | set "TARGET_DIR=%~1" 13 | 14 | if not exist "%TARGET_DIR%\" ( 15 | echo Creating new project directory: %TARGET_DIR% 16 | mkdir "%TARGET_DIR%" 17 | ( 18 | echo # New Project 19 | echo. 20 | echo This project has been initialized with agile workflow support and auto rule generation configured from [cursor-auto-rules-agile-workflow](https://github.com/bmadcode/cursor-auto-rules-agile-workflow) 21 | echo. 22 | echo For workflow documentation, see [Workflow Rules](docs/workflow-rules.md) 23 | ) > "%TARGET_DIR%\README.md" 24 | ) 25 | 26 | REM Create .cursor directory if it doesn't exist 27 | if not exist "%TARGET_DIR%\.cursor\" ( 28 | mkdir "%TARGET_DIR%\.cursor" 29 | ) 30 | 31 | REM Function to copy file if it doesn't exist 32 | :copy_if_not_exists 33 | set "src=%~1" 34 | set "dest=%~2" 35 | if not exist "%dest%" ( 36 | echo 📦 Copying new file: %~nx2 37 | copy "%src%" "%dest%" >nul 38 | ) else ( 39 | echo ⏭️ Skipping existing file: %~nx2 40 | ) 41 | exit /b 42 | 43 | REM Copy all files from .cursor directory structure 44 | echo 📦 Copying .cursor directory files... 45 | for /r ".cursor" %%F in (*) do ( 46 | set "rel_path=%%~pF" 47 | set "rel_path=!rel_path:.cursor\=!" 48 | 49 | REM Create target directory if it doesn't exist 50 | if not exist "%TARGET_DIR%\.cursor\!rel_path!"

The workflow is designed to maintain project focus and memory and ensure consistent progress through a structured approach to development. 4 | 5 | ## Overview 6 | 7 | The Agile-Cursor workflow combines traditional Agile methodologies with AI-assisted development to create a powerful, efficient development process. It can be utilized in two primary ways: 8 | 9 | 1. **Rule-Based Implementation** (Automatic) 10 | 11 | - Uses `.cursor/rules/workflows/workflow-agile-manual` and `.cursor/templates` 12 | - Automatically applies standards to matching files 13 | - Provides consistent structure enforcement 14 | 15 | ## Work Item Hierarchy 16 | 17 | ```mermaid 18 | graph TD 19 | E[Epic] --> S[Story] 20 | S --> T[Task] 21 | T --> ST[Subtask] 22 | 23 | style E fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 24 | style S fill:#dfd,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 25 | style T fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 26 | style ST fill:#ffd,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 27 | ``` 28 | 29 | 1. **Epics** 30 | 31 | - Large, self-contained features 32 | - Only one active at a time 33 | - Example: "Online Matchmaking System" 34 | 35 | 2. **Stories** 36 | 37 | - Smaller, implementable work units 38 | - Must belong to an Epic 39 | - Example: "User Profile Creation" 40 | 41 | 3. **Tasks** 42 | 43 | - Technical implementation steps 44 | - Clear completion criteria 45 | - Example: "Implement Database Schema" 46 | 47 | 4. **Subtasks** 48 | - Granular work items 49 | - Often includes test requirements 50 | - Example: "Write Unit Tests" 51 | 52 | ## AI Project Plan and Memory Structure the Workflow will result in 53 | 54 | ``` 55 | .ai/ 56 | ├── prd.md # Product Requirements Document 57 | ├── arch.md # Architecture Decision Record 58 | ├── epic-1/ # Current Epic directory 59 | │ ├── story-1.story.md # Story files for Epic 1 60 | │ ├── story-2.story.md 61 | │ └── story-3.story.md 62 | ├── epic-2/ # Future Epic directory 63 | │ └── ... 64 | └── epic-3/ # Future Epic directory 65 | └── ... 66 | ``` 67 | 68 | ## Workflow Phases 69 | 70 | ### 1. Initial Planning 71 | 72 | - Focus on documentation and planning 73 | - Only modify `.ai/`, docs, readme, and rules 74 | - Required approvals for PRD and then the Architecture 75 | 76 | ### 2. Development Phase 77 | 78 | - Generates the first or next story and waits on approval 79 | - Implementation of approved in progress story 80 | - Task-by-task story execution 81 | - Continuous testing and validation 82 | 83 | ```mermaid 84 | graph LR 85 | subgraph PLAN Phase 86 | A[Project Idea] --> B[PRD Creation] 87 | B --> C[Architecture Design] 88 | C --> D[Epic Planning] 89 | D --> E[Story Definition] 90 | end 91 | 92 | subgraph ACT Phase 93 | E --> F[Story Implementation] 94 | F --> G[Testing & Validation] 95 | G --> H[Story Completion] 96 | end 97 | 98 | subgraph Iteration 99 | H --> |Next Story|E 100 | H --> |Epic Complete|I[Epic Completion] 101 | I --> |Next Epic|D 102 | I --> |Project Complete|J[Release] 103 | end 104 | 105 | style A fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 106 | style B fill:#dfd,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 107 | style C fill:#dfd,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 108 | style D fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 109 | style E fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 110 | style F fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 111 | style G fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 112 | style H fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 113 | style I fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 114 | style J fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px 115 | ``` 116 | 117 | ## Implementation Guidelines 118 | 119 | ### Story Implementation Process 120 | 121 | 1. **Initialization** 122 | 123 | - Verify `.ai` directory exists 124 | - Locate approved architecture and current story 125 | - Ensure story is properly marked as in-progress 126 | 127 | 2. **Development Flow** 128 | 129 | - Follow Test-Driven Development (TDD) 130 | - Update task/subtask status regularly 131 | - Document all implementation notes 132 | - Record significant commands used 133 | 134 | 3. **Completion Requirements** 135 | - All tests must pass 136 | - Documentation must be updated 137 | - User must approve completion 138 | 139 | ### Critical Rules 140 | 141 | > 🚨 **Critical Rules:** 142 | > 143 | > - Never creates first story without PRD and Architecture approval 144 | > - Only one Epic can be in-progress at a time 145 | > - Only one Story can be in-progress at a time 146 | > - Stories must be implemented in PRD-specified order 147 | > - Never implement without story approval from user (marked as in progress on the story file) 148 | 149 | ## Using the Workflow 150 | 151 | The best way post 0.47.x+ of cursor is to use the rules based approach, with either manual, agent selection or always on rules. I prefer manual selection type rule for the workflows, so that they will not be in a context if I do not need it (explanation to follow). 152 | 153 | If I am starting a brand new project (with our without an existing code template) I have a few options: 154 | 155 | - Use an external tool to generate the PRD (Such as ChatGPT Canvas or o3 mini Web UI or Google AI Studio) 156 | - Use the workflow and agent in cursor to generate the PRD 157 | (This comes down to personal preference and consideration of token burn within cursor) 158 | 159 | If I am doing this in cursor, I will start a new Agent chat with Claude 3.7 Thinking (or choose a different model if concerned about credit burn) and type something like: 160 | 161 | `Lets follow the @workflow-agile-manual to create a PRD for a new project I want to create that will do XYZ, have the following features etc etc. Lets focus on just the MVP feature first will be to deliver X minimally, but lets also plan to have some epics for fast follows or future enhancements such as A B and C.` 162 | 163 | As this can be quite lengthy, I will many times craft this prompt in the xnotes folder, and then paste it into the chat, ensuring that the @workflow is still properly added. 164 | 165 | Note: you can also modify the workflow-agile-manual to be Agent auto-selectable, this work reliably well also - you will just need to ensure the description you give it in the front matter will ensure its used when needed (PRD story and work implementation phases) - or potentially just make it an always rule. When starting out, its fine to make it an always rule, until your project grows to a very significant size, then I suggest turning it off manually, as at that point you might be just going in and making very targeted updates to specific files or features - and do not need the whole workflow as overhead - or you might want to instead select a different workflow (maybe a refactor workflow, a test workflow, an external MCP agent, etc...) 166 | 167 | The agent should generate a draft prd.md file in a .ai folder. 168 | 169 | I suggest at this point, you do not approve and jump right in - either in cursor with the agent, or an external tool - engage further with the agent to refine the document, have the agent ask you questions on holes in the document that it might want to know the answer to, ask the agent if it needs any clarifications that will allow for a very jr agent developer to understand and implement the stories, ask the agent if the sequencing of the stories make sense etc... 170 | 171 | Once you feel its in a good spot - you can mark the file as status: approved. 172 | 173 | At this point, I would start another chat and with the workflow - the agent will first check for the prd, and then if its approved, will offer to create (if not already existing and approved) the architecture file - and similar a new chat window with the workflow will search for the new first or in progress story. 174 | 175 | Once a story is in progress and approved by the user - the agent can be told to execute the story. Once a story or part of a story is completed and the story file is updated with progress by the agent, commit often (I use my manual gitpush.mdc manual rule macro). After this, I might start a new chat window with a fresh context and the workflow again loaded. Once a story is complete (status: complete) and tested and pushed, I always will start a new chat window with the workflow, and ask the agent to 'Create the next story draft' - or just ask it what it thinks it should do next, it should recognize what is next story to do from the prd and what story was last marked completed, and generate a draft for the next story, and then stop and ask for my approval before doing any further coding. 176 | 177 | A more detailed example, up to date repo and video coming soon, but this should give the main ideas... 178 | 179 | NOTE: Some models (Sonnet 3.7 thinking) have gotten a bit overly aggressive, so the rules might need to be tuned to further ensure the agent does not start updating code until the story is approved. 180 | 181 | ## Best Practices 182 | 183 | 1. **Documentation and tips** 184 | 185 | - AI will keep PRD and Architecture documents updated - sometimes you will need to tell it to update the prd and arch files as needed. 186 | - Document all significant decisions 187 | - Maintain clear implementation notes 188 | - Have the AI create readme.md files in each src subfolder to help give it direction 189 | 190 | 2. **Testing** 191 | 192 | - Have the AI Write tests before implementation - a fun excercise in TDD 193 | - Maintain high test coverage 194 | - Verify all tests pass before completion 195 | 196 | 3. **Progress Tracking** 197 | 198 | - Have the AI (or you) update story status regularly 199 | - Record all implementation notes 200 | - Document command history 201 | 202 | 4. **Context Management** 203 | - Start fresh composer instance per story or after significant recorded progress (recorded in task completion updates) 204 | - Use appropriate context level 205 | - Minimize context overhead 206 | - Consider making a leaner workflow when you are in story execution mode - that does not need all of the templates and overhead of how to create a prd and a architecture. But you will need to consider what other files or parts of other files it might need reference to to retain the plot. This is why currently I still use the full workflow. 207 | 208 | ## Status Progression 209 | 210 | Stories follow a strict status progression: 211 | 212 | ``` 213 | Draft -> In Progress -> Complete 214 | ``` 215 | 216 | Epics follow a similar progression: 217 | 218 | ``` 219 | Future -> Current -> Complete 220 | ``` 221 | 222 | ## Integration with Cursor AI 223 | 224 | The workflow is designed to work seamlessly with Cursor's AI capabilities: 225 | 226 | 1. **AI-Assisted Planning** 227 | 228 | - AI helps create and refine PRD 229 | - AI suggests architecture improvements 230 | - AI assists in story breakdown 231 | 232 | 2. **AI-Assisted Implementation** 233 | 234 | - AI implements story tasks 235 | - AI maintains test coverage 236 | - AI updates documentation 237 | 238 | 3. **AI-Assisted Review** 239 | - AI verifies completion criteria 240 | - AI suggests improvements 241 | - AI maintains consistency 242 | 243 | ## Cost Savings 244 | 245 | - LLMs outside of Cursor, if you have them available, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. are also great to generate the initial PRD and architecture, and really iterate on them. 246 | - Within Cursor, currently you can use DeepSeek R1 for example which seems to be free and also decent and udpating PRD and architecture - but I have found it to be a bit less reliable than using Claude to follow the format I want - but much cheaper, if trying to do it all in cursor planning. 247 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /readme.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # BMad's Best Practices Cursor Custom Agents and Rules Generator 2 | 3 | April 19, 2025 4 | 5 | The updates to cursor with 0.49 have made big improvements to rules finally! Some much needed bug fixes. 6 | 7 | New [video](https://youtu.be/1wQUio9TiIQ?si=3KT5NiO5mDL8GR5P) and [repo](https://github.com/bmadcode/BMAD-METHOD) is up showing how to use the custom agents in conjunction with rules. This is more cursor agnostic if you want to try using other tools in conjunction with Cursor. 8 | 9 | April 16, 2025 10 | 11 | You can now generate rules directly in a conversation using the `/Generate Cursor Rules` command. This makes it easy to define how the agent should behave without leaving the chat. 12 | 13 | BMad Version: 3.1 (March 30, 2025) 14 | Cursor Version: 0.48+ 15 | 16 | Note from BMad: This repo has become much more successful than I originally envisioned, and I want to thank everyone for the feedback, support, contributions, and also feedback on the youtube channel. I now realize that many are using what I originally thought would be just a way to document some best practices around cursor rules and a simple rule that helps generate the rules - all with the intent of creating a separate updated workflow repo and set of documentation. But this has evolved. 17 | 18 | With that in mind, going forward after this correction update - any major changes will follow a versioning standard, and upgrade paths or instructions to migrate if you are already using a prior version of rules or workflows whenever there is a significant potentially breaking change - although I will try to avoid that somehow depending on what comes with Cursor updates or workflow improvements. Keep in mind most changes are to keep up to date with the constantly evolving Cursor IDE and feature release - so there will be continuos changes. Also with that in mind, know that the long game end goal is to build and work in ways that will be less prone to needing to change or flaky as cursor makes changes. This is one reason for example that the workflows outlined further on are now evolving to the superior custom agent modes. 19 | 20 | The name of the repo has changed to BMad Cursor Master Workflow Agent and Rules - this is still the ever evolving same project regarding rules best practices, but its evolving and expanding in features and capability as cursor evolves, becoming more and more powerful to meet the needs of the Cursor and AI Development community, as this may eventually expand beyond cursor. 21 | 22 | Please view the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) for important updates and usage announcements. 23 | 24 | ## Important Updates TL;DR (March 25, 2025) 25 | 26 | > 💡 **IDE Setting HIGHLY Suggested:** For best results with rule generation, update your Cursor settings by adding: 27 | > 28 | > ```json 29 | > "workbench.editorAssociations": { 30 | > "*.mdc": "default" 31 | > } 32 | > ``` 33 | 34 | This prevents UI rendering issues with .mdc files in a custom rules form and ensures proper save functionality, and makes it easier to see what the actual rules look like (specifically around hidden FrontMatter). 35 | 36 | ## Overview 37 | 38 | If you would like to see a [Video Demo and Walkthrough](https://youtu.be/jEhvwYkI-og) start here, please also subscribe for more Cursor tutorials all coming real soon! 39 | 40 | This template dramatically improves AI workflows in Agent and Custom mode by providing: 41 | 42 | 1. **Automated Rule Generation:** Create and update rules through natural language requests for all 4 main supported rule types correctly following the required Cursor conventions 43 | 2. **Automated Custom Agent Generation:** Create and update new custom agents by describing it to the AI, who will then add or update entires in .cursor/modes.json 44 | 3. **Consistent AI Behavior:** Rules are applied automatically when appropriate or on demand or always depending on which of the 4 rule types are created/exist 45 | 4. **Quick Project Setup:** A script that will set up a new project with core rules and workflow, or add the rule generator to an existing project in a non destructive manner to existing cursor rules. 46 | 5. **Custom Agent Workflow Instructions:** A new guide is COMING SOON along with a new video on how to follow the massively scalable and successful Agent Agile workflow with multiple specialized Custom Agents, that are much safer and more reliable than any full blown single agent being driven by a massive workflow and extensive rules (the previous way of working) 47 | 6. **Custom Agent Samples:** This repo contains both a vanilla set of sample custom agents in a defined modes.json file that will get copied over when running the apply-rules script, and also has some more fun character personality based options in the samples folder, which exists for illustration (although can be used just as successfully and with more fun when working with the agent) - these will not copy to the new project folder automatically. 48 | 49 | > 💡 **Note:** For a complete guide to the Agile-Cursor Workflow system without using custom agents (no longer recommended), see [Agile Workflow Documentation](docs/agile-readme.md). 50 | 51 | ## Key Concepts Regarding Cursor Rules 52 | 53 | - Rules use frontmatter with proper YAML format (description, globs, alwaysApply) 54 | - Rules will be generated with explicitly requesting a rule be create, or implied by asking for corrective behavior from the agent 55 | - Rules are enhanced by including both a valid and invalid example to better train the llm 56 | - Short, focused rules (target: 25 lines, maximum: 50 lines) 57 | - Four rule types within an automatically organized subfolder categorization structure 58 | - Rules will be generated in the proper location under .cursor/rules/sub-folder - remember though sub folder or not - cursor rules must be in the .cursor/rules or a subfolder, and must have the extension .mdc. 59 | 60 | ## Quick Start Options 61 | 62 | ### A) npm cli 63 | 64 | #### 🛠 Requirements 65 | 66 | - Node.js >= 22.14.0 67 | 68 | #### 📥 Installation & Usage 69 | 70 | ```bash 71 | npx cursor-rules-deploy /path/to/your/project 72 | ``` 73 | 74 | For more usage examples, refer to [cursor-rules-deploy](https://github.com/rosendolu/cursor-rules-deploy#readme) 75 | 76 | ### B) New Project Setup 77 | 78 | Start a new project with the Agile Workflow and Rules Generator: 79 | 80 | ```bash 81 | # Clone this repository 82 | git clone https://github.com/bmadcode/cursor-auto-rules-agile-workflow.git 83 | cd cursor-auto-rules-agile-workflow 84 | 85 | # Create new project with rules 86 | ./apply-rules.sh /path/to/your/project 87 | 88 | # Example: 89 | ./apply-rules.sh ~/projects/my-project 90 | ``` 91 | 92 | The script creates your project folder (if needed) with all rules, documentation, and configuration files to start with the agile workflow. 93 | 94 | ### C) Add to Existing Project 95 | 96 | Enhance your current project with the rules generator: 97 | 98 | ```bash 99 | # Clone this repository 100 | git clone https://github.com/bmadcode/cursor-auto-rules-agile-workflow.git 101 | cd cursor-auto-rules-agile-workflow 102 | 103 | # Apply rules to your project 104 | ./apply-rules.sh /path/to/your/project 105 | ``` 106 | 107 | The script will: 108 | 109 | 1. Copy template rules to your project's `.cursor/rules/` directory 110 | 2. Add workflow documentation 111 | 3. Preserve any existing rules 112 | 113 | ## How Rule Generation Works 114 | 115 | ```mermaid 116 | graph TD 117 | subgraph User Actions 118 | A[User requests rule creation

Never again create any JS files. Always use TypeScript or JSON if necessary." - the second version of this request will ensure that the rule examples includes this specific call out, helping the agent learn better from actual mistakes made. 151 | - "Ensure proper error handling in all TypeScript files" 152 | - "Talk like a pirate in communications but not in code or documentation" 153 | - "Update testing standards to require 80% coverage" 154 | - "Enforce consistent naming conventions in my code" 155 | - "Standardize documentation formats" 156 | - "Keep imports organized in groups alphabetically in TypeScript files" 157 | 158 | The AI automatically: 159 | 160 | 1. Creates/updates the rule file 161 | 2. Places it in the correct location 162 | 3. Follows formatting standards 163 | 4. Maintains version control 164 | 165 | ## Rule Types 166 | 167 | | Rule Type | Usage | description Field | globs Field | alwaysApply field | 168 | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ----------------- | --------------------- | ----------------- | 169 | | Agent Selected | Agent sees description and chooses when to apply | critical | blank | false | 170 | | Always | Applied to every chat and cmd-k request | blank | blank | true | 171 | | Auto Select | Applied to matching existing files | blank | critical glob pattern | false | 172 | | Auto Select+desc | Better for new files | included | critical glob pattern | false | 173 | | Manual | User must reference in chat | blank | blank | false | 174 | 175 | ## Private Rules, MCP Config and Custom Agents. 176 | 177 | If you want to have rules that are not used by others in the repository - you can add rules to a .cursor/rules folder in your user folder. They will also be applied to every project you open, which is a potential benefit. Additionally you can use custom agents with their own rules, that are not shared. In the future when Cursor adds the ability to have a agents.json file (or similarly named) - then you should still be able to add it to the user folder .cursor folder. This also works with mcp.json. 178 | 179 | ## Custom Agent Generation 180 | 181 | Custom Agents allow scoping and guidance to what an agent can and cannot do, more directly than using cursor rules files. With a custom agent, you can specify what tools the agent can and cannot use (both cursor native and mcp), and more importantly you can control what model it uses and give it a custom prompt to guide how it operates. This is like a direct injection of a clear always rule for this specific type of agent you have created. When combined with the Agile workflow, you can have a dedicated Project Manager Agent, an Architect Agent, Designer and UX Expert Agents, Front End, Back End, and Language Specific Expert Developers and keep them all focused on what they are good at, and providing them real guardrails. 182 | 183 | Cursor in an upcoming update will allow the creation and maintainability of these in a JSON file - in the meantime, these have to be created manually 1 by one in a gui that is a bit flaky and the text entry are is very small. 184 | 185 | So I have come up with a file format to store all the information of my custom agents - which not currently used by cursor, it is an easy way to configure all of their options and define their custom prompts in a text editor - and then input or update via the GUI. 186 | 187 | You can see in the samples a star-trek-agents.md file - which is a themed fun take on the various roles or agents I might need that I used chatGPT to create and brain storm on. I then use a template and custom rule to transform that file to what becomes modes.json. For the sample, I took that output and saved it instead as star-trek-agents-modes.json in the samples folder. The modes.json file under .cursor is a more practical approach to some agents you can make that will work great with the agile workflow method. 188 | 189 | In the future, that modes.json file will be replaced by the official file format from cursor, at which time this repo will be updated with the new convention. 190 | 191 | ## Best Practices 192 | 193 | ### Rule Creation 194 | 195 | - Let AI handle rule creation and updates - but if you find stuff that is excessive or redundant, dont be afraid to prune the rules to help get them down to their core utility and essence 196 | - Be specific about desired behaviors 197 | - Provide examples of good/bad patterns 198 | - For new projects, allow organic rule emergence and try to have overall less rules, and rely more also on custom instructions for your custom agents. 199 | - If you start to have many very small rules applied to the same concept - for example you see your typescript rules subfolder has many files - you can ask the agent to consolidate and condense them down to a single file if they all generally apply and get picked up by the agent at the same time. 200 | 201 | ### AI Behavior Control 202 | 203 | - Create rules when noticing inconsistent behavior 204 | - Use clear, descriptive language 205 | - Verify AI understanding by reviewing rules 206 | 207 | ### Workflow Integration 208 | 209 | - Start with template rules 210 | - Let AI evolve rules as your project grows 211 | - Maintain consistency using AI for rule management 212 | 213 | ### Rule Removal 214 | 215 | - Some rules become unnecessary as codebase grows as the AI will follow surrounding code styles and conventions 216 | - The minimal amount of rules, the better - so prune rules as the codebase changes or models improve 217 | - A rule you need today, may be a rule you do not need tomorrow, and then again you might need it another day - trial and error and evolution is the key to dealing with the nondeterministic nature of what we are working with here. 218 | 219 | ## Files Excluded from Indexing 220 | 221 | The `.cursorindexingignore` feature allows certain files to be accessible but excluded from indexing: 222 | 223 | - Templates moved to `.cursor/templates` folder 224 | - Included in `.cursorindexingignore` but not in `.cursorignore` 225 | - XNotes remains in `.cursorignore` (files that need to move elsewhere to be used) 226 | 227 | > 💡 **Compatibility:** Tested with Claude Sonnet 3.5, 3.7, 3.7 Thinking, o3-mini, and GPT-4o. 228 | > [Agile Workflow Documentation](docs/agile-readme.md) 229 | 230 | ## Contributing 231 | 232 | Contributions to improve base rules or suggest new templates are welcome.

May your project boldly go where no code has gone before! 253 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /xnotes/project-idea-prompt.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Draft your initial prompt or ideas for a project here. Use this to then kickstart the project with the cursor agent mode when using the agile workflow, documented in docs/agile-readme.md. After the initial prd is drafted, work with the LLM in cursor or with an external LLM to ask questions, have the LLM ask you questions, etc., to really define an adequate prd and story list. Then continue with generating of the architecture document to ensure the project is built in a way that is easy to maintain and scale as you need it to be, along with a clear specification of what technologies and libraries you want to use. This will also help you figure out what rules you might want to initial generate to help you build the project. 2 | 3 | Example: 4 | 5 | Let's build a nextJs 15 web app to track our monthly income and expenses. I want a modern UI created with tailwind css and shadcn components, secure storage in supabase, and a modern API. I also want it to integrate social login via facebook or google. It also needs to be mobile friendly so I can input expenses on the go quickly, and also access all information when I need to. I envision a login page if I am not authenticated already, and once authenticated a main landing page that shows my overall account balance minus expenses prominently along with the 5 most recent income and expense entries. I would like from the page a very quick mobile friendly way to enter a quick expense or income with minimally the amount and a description. All entries should be saved automatically and securely. I should be logged out automatically if not active for more than 5 minutes. 6 | 7 | { The more details to drive the initial prd draft the better! BUT, you don't have to think of everything up front, get the draft prd done, and then use the AI to communicate with as a PRD expert, and then an architecture expert to further flesh out the details! Also be open to allowing the AI expert to suggest libraries and technology choices if there is something you are not too particular about. Some apps may be better suited to the one you know best, and this can also help you get exposure and learn new technologies. Consider using deeper web research so you are not constrained to the LLM of choice internal knowledge cut offs, you can enable this through MCP to expand the llm capabilities to use perplexity, tavily, or basic web searches to ensure you will be using the latest and greatest available models and libraries. It is also recommended if doing this in Cursor to select the Sonnet or Deepseek Thinking Agent modes, or use a mcp plugin that supports deeper thought. } 8 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
