Core Features

1. Rules by Framework

2. Rule Format

Each rule includes:

# Next.js + TypeScript Rule

You are an expert in Next.js 14, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.

## Code Style

- Use functional components with TypeScript interfaces
- Prefer server components; use 'use client' only when necessary
- Use Tailwind CSS for styling; avoid inline styles

## Naming

- Components: PascalCase (UserProfile.tsx)
- Utilities: camelCase (formatDate.ts)
- Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE

## Patterns

- Use server actions for form handling
- Implement error boundaries for client components
- Use Suspense for async data loading

3. MCP Server Directory

Browse and discover MCP server configurations:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "."]
    }
  }
}

4. Community Contributions

• Submit your own rules via the website
• Upvote the most useful rules
• Rules are ranked by community votes

5. Cross-Tool Compatibility

Rules work beyond Cursor:

• .cursorrules → Cursor
• CLAUDE.md → Claude Code
• .windsurfrules → Windsurf
• System prompts → Any AI tool

How to Use with Claude Code

# Copy a rule from cursor.directory
# Save as CLAUDE.md in your project root
cat > CLAUDE.md << 'EOF'
[paste rule content here]
EOF
