Abstraction: Curated collection of Cursor AI project rule configuration files

Key points:

• Cursor Project Rules are Markdown-based .mdc files stored in .cursor/rules/ that shape Cursor AI's behavior per project, framework, or workflow
• Rules encode project architecture, preferred libraries, coding standards, security constraints, and domain context to make AI suggestions more accurate and consistent
• Repository covers rules for frameworks (Next.js, React, Vue, SvelteKit, FastAPI, Go, etc.), testing tools, deployment (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare), and cross-cutting concerns (anti-sycophancy, DRY/SOLID, security)
• .mdc frontmatter requires description, globs (file patterns for auto-attach), and alwaysApply flag; use alwaysApply: false unless guidance applies universally
• Teams sharing .cursor/rules/*.mdc files get consistent AI assistance across contributors
• Over 150 rule files covering frontend, backend, mobile, data/ML, testing, documentation, and DevSecOps categories
