    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!

    Hi HN, I just launched Todo2 – an AI-powered project management extension for the Cursor AI editor. I built Todo2 after getting frustrated with leaving my IDE to plan tasks in ChatGPT/Perplexity. It lets you create todos by simply prompting, auto-researches latest best practices, and keeps everything inside Cursor. It’s free with 14-days trial on the Cursor Marketplace. Would love your feedback or questions! Thank you - https://todo2.pro

    Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…
