Cursor rules (cursorrules): what they are, and how to install them
A cursor rule is a file (originally a root .cursorrules, now a .cursor/rules/*.mdc file) that tells Cursor how to write code in a given stack: conventions, file layout, patterns to prefer or avoid. Every rule below links to its real source and the exact command that adds it to a project.
