## What it is
A curated open-source collection of AI prompts and rules for AI coding assistants like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Windsurf, and Zed. It provides ready-to-use rule files that enforce project-specific coding standards, best practices, and workflows in AI-assisted development.

## Use cases
- find curated cursor rules for my project
- set up copilot instructions for coding standards
- prompts to scaffold a new project with an AI agent
- best practices for prompting AI coding assistants
- rules to enforce typescript and linting standards in cursor
- share and reuse ai coding rules across tools

## When to choose
- you use Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Windsurf, or Zed and want ready-made rules
- you want to standardize AI behavior across a team with shared rule files
- you need inspiration for writing your own AI coding prompts

## When to avoid
- you need a runtime tool or library rather than prompt text files
- your AI coding tool does not support custom rules or instruction files
- you need guaranteed up-to-date rules for a very specific framework version

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: prompt-engineering, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: artificial-intelligence, developer-tools, web-development, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
