While Cursor has already revolutionized coding, you can still configure it to perform even better based on your language and framework. That's why we created Cursor Directory, a collection of the best cursor rules for your framework and language from the community. It's fully open source and you can contribute to it by submitting your own rules. Just copy and add a .cursorrules file to your project root! Let me know what you think!

Hey HN, Prasad here, I've been using cursor from very early days. Adding rules to my project really improved the quality and the Autonomity of cursor agent, but it took a good bit of time for me to do that manually. So I built a tool to generate rules based on the technology and various preferences. Please check it out. https://cursor-rules-generator.xyz/

Hi HN, Francesco from Cua here. I hacked this project together last weekend, inspired by the Codex Computer-Use release and lessons learned from deploying GUI-operating agents for our customers. The main problem: when a UI automation process controls a desktop app today, it usually takes over the human’s session. Your cursor moves, keyboard focus gets stolen, windows jump to the front, and you have to stop working until the agent is done.

I built ARM (AI Rules Manager) to solve a problem that's been bugging me: managing AI rules across projects is broken. If you use Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Amazon Q, you know how powerful custom rules can be for guiding AI behavior. But right now, everyone just copies `.cursorrules` files around manually. Once copied, they're orphaned – no updates, no version control, no way to know if changes will break your AI's behavior. ARM treats AI rules like npm packages. You can: - Install versioned rulesets: arm install awesome-cursorrules/python - Connect to Git registries like…
