Cursor Rules & Prompts

A collection of Cursor AI rules, agent configurations, and reusable commands for building enterprise-grade applications. Designed for teams working with Java, TypeScript, Python/FastAPI, and Nuxt/Vue stacks.

What's Included

📋 Rules (rules/)

Cursor rules (.mdc files) that automatically apply coding standards, security practices, and conventions when editing code.

Category	Rules	Description
Common	security.mdc component-technical-standards.mdc integration-standards.mdc agent-memory.mdc	Language-agnostic security best practices (OWASP), component design standards, integration patterns, and shared agent memory
Java	java-code-standards.mdc application-logging.mdc audit-logging.mdc jooq-database-access.mdc	Java 21+ code style, SLF4J logging conventions, audit trail patterns, and type-safe database access with jOOQ
Spring Boot	spring-conventions.mdc spring-retry-conventions.mdc spring-testing.mdc	Spring Boot patterns, resilience with retry/circuit breakers, and testing with TestContainers
TypeScript Common	typescript-code-standards.mdc application-logging.mdc audit-logging.mdc	TypeScript conventions, structured logging, and audit-ready implementation patterns
TypeScript Nuxt	nuxt-conventions.mdc	Nuxt and Vue conventions for frontend architecture, data loading, and localization
Python FastAPI	application-logging.mdc audit-logging.mdc fastapi-specific.mdc python-documentation-standards.mdc sqlalchemy-data-access.mdc	FastAPI style, API behavior guidance, logging and audit patterns, documentation standards, and SQLAlchemy usage

📚 Process (process/)

Guidance for specification-led work is in process/:

File	Purpose
specification-driven-development.md	Method for writing precise specifications for predictable AI-assisted development

🤖 Agents (agents/)

AGENTS.md files that define AI assistant personas for specific tech stacks. These provide project-specific commands, boundaries, and workflows.

Agent	Stack	Key Features
Java	Spring Boot 4 + Java 21	jOOQ, Flyway migrations, OpenAPI code generation, Gradle workflows
Python	FastAPI + Python 3.14	Contract-first generation flow, explicit validation gates, environment and migration guidance
Nuxt	Nuxt 4 + Vue 3 + TypeScript	Orval API client, i18n, Vitest testing, TanStack Query

💬 Commands (commands/)

Reusable prompt templates for common development tasks. Copy and paste into Cursor chat.

Command	Purpose
code-review.md	Structured code review workflow with severity levels and fix prioritization
deslop.md	Remove AI-generated "slop" (unnecessary comments, defensive code, type bypasses)
security-check.md	Security-oriented review checklist and threat-focused validation suggestions
simplify-code.md	Simplify complex implementations and reduce unnecessary complexity
verify.md	Practical validation checklist for reviews, refactors, and changes before merge

Installation

Option 1: Copy Rules to Your Project

Copy the rules you need into your project's .cursor/rules/ directory:

# Copy all rules
cp -r rules/* your-project/.cursor/rules/

# Or copy specific categories
cp -r rules/common/* your-project/.cursor/rules/
cp -r rules/java-common/* your-project/.cursor/rules/
cp -r rules/java-spring-boot/* your-project/.cursor/rules/
cp -r rules/typescript-common/* your-project/.cursor/rules/
cp -r rules/typescript-nuxt/* your-project/.cursor/rules/
cp -r rules/python-fastapi/* your-project/.cursor/rules/

Option 2: Copy Agent Configuration

For project-specific agent behavior, copy the appropriate AGENTS.md to your project root:

# For Spring Boot projects
cp agents/java/AGENTS.md your-project/AGENTS.md

# For Nuxt projects
cp agents/nuxt/AGENTS.md your-project/AGENTS.md

# For Python/FastAPI projects
cp agents/python/AGENTS.md your-project/AGENTS.md

How It Works

Rules (.mdc files)

Rules are automatically applied by Cursor based on:

• globs: File patterns that trigger the rule (e.g., **/*.java)
• alwaysApply: Whether the rule applies to all files

Example rule header:

---
description: Java standards (Java 21+) for code style, design, and language features
globs: **/*.java
alwaysApply: true
---

Agents (AGENTS.md)

Agent files define:

• Persona: How the AI should behave
• Commands: Project-specific build/test commands
• Boundaries: What actions require approval
• Checklists: Step-by-step workflows for common tasks

Customization

These configurations are starting points. Adapt them to your project:

1. Modify rules to match your team's conventions
2. Update agent commands to match your build tools
3. Add project-specific boundaries based on your architecture
4. Create memory files (docs/agent-memory.md) to track lessons learned
