# Cursor Rules (.cursorrules) Architecture Generator

Authors modern `.cursorrules` and `.cursor/rules/*.mdc` project guidance: specifying tech stack rules, banned antipatterns, file pattern globs, and framework-specific conventions for Cursor AI editor.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- create .cursorrules file
- write cursor project rules
- generate .cursor/rules/*.mdc

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Define clear, directive rules starting with action verbs (e.g. 'Always use Server Actions for mutations').
2. Include glob patterns (globs: *.tsx) to scope rules to relevant file extensions.
3. Explicitly list banned antipatterns and their recommended modern replacements.
4. Keep rule files concise and high-signal to minimize editor context window consumption.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
