Quick Use

Use it first, then decide how deep to go

This block should tell both the user and the agent what to copy, install, and apply first.

**Recommended (Cookiecutter):** ```bash pip install cookiecutter cookiecutter gh:grapeot/devin.cursorrules --checkout template ``` **Manual:** 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/grapeot/devin.cursorrules.git ``` 2. Copy `.cursorrules` to your project root (for Cursor) 3. Copy `.windsurfrules` + `scratchpad.md` (for Windsurf) 4. Copy `.github/copilot-instructions.md` (for GitHub Copilot) 5. Copy the `tools/` folder to your project 6. Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt` ---
Intro
Devin Cursorrules transforms Cursor, Windsurf, or GitHub Copilot into a Devin-like autonomous AI software engineer — without the $25/task pricing. With 6,000+ GitHub stars and MIT license, it adds automated task planning, self-correcting behavior, web browsing/search integration, screenshot verification via Playwright, and optional multi-agent collaboration (o1 for planning, Claude/GPT-4o for execution). Drop the config files into any project and your AI editor starts thinking before it acts. Best for: developers who want Devin-level AI coding capabilities in Cursor or Windsurf for free. Works with: Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot. Setup time: under 3 minutes. ---
## Devin Cursorrules — How It Works ### Core Capabilities #### 1. Automated Planning & Self-Evolution The AI creates a structured plan before writing code, tracks progress in `scratchpad.md`, and updates its strategy as it learns from the codebase. Unlike vanilla Cursor, the agent thinks step-by-step and adapts its approach. #### 2. Extended Tools The `tools/` folder adds capabilities beyond basic code editing: - **Web browsing** — Fetch and analyze web pages - **Search engine integration** — Look up documentation and solutions - **Screenshot verification** — Use Playwright to visually verify UI changes - **LLM analysis** — Send data to external LLMs for deeper reasoning #### 3. Multi-Agent Collaboration Optional setup where: - **o1/o1-pro** handles high-level planning and strategy - **Claude/GPT-4o** executes the plan and writes code - Agents communicate through shared scratchpad files #### 4. Self-Correction When you correct the AI ("no, use X instead"), it records the feedback and avoids the same mistake in future interactions within the session. ### File Structure ``` .cursorrules # Cursor AI configuration rules .windsurfrules # Windsurf equivalent scratchpad.md # Planning & progress tracking .github/ copilot-instructions.md # GitHub Copilot config tools/ browser.py # Web browsing capability search.py # Search engine integration screenshot.py # Playwright screenshot verification requirements.txt # Python dependencies ``` ### Supported Editors | Editor | Config File | Status | |--------|------------|--------| | Cursor | `.cursorrules` | Full support | | Windsurf | `.windsurfrules` + `scratchpad.md` | Full support | | GitHub Copilot | `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | Basic support | ### FAQ **Q: What is devin.cursorrules?** A: A configuration that gives Cursor/Windsurf Devin-like AI capabilities — automated planning, self-correction, web browsing, and multi-agent collaboration — for free. **Q: Is it free?** A: Yes, MIT license. You only pay for the AI model tokens used by your editor (Cursor/Windsurf subscription). **Q: How is this different from vanilla Cursor?** A: Vanilla Cursor responds to individual prompts. With devin.cursorrules, the AI plans multi-step tasks, tracks progress, browses the web for context, verifies UI changes with screenshots, and learns from corrections. ---
