Cursor Project Rules for Python development with containerization: Dockerfile conventions and image-size and layering best practices.

## Install

### cursor

```
mkdir -p .cursor/rules
curl -o .cursor/rules/python-containerization-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules/main/rules/python-containerization-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc
```

Per the repo's own instructions: create a .cursor/rules/ directory in your project, then copy the .mdc file into it. Cursor auto-attaches the rule based on the globs in its frontmatter.
