react-components-creation-cursorrules-prompt-file

react-components-creation-cursorrules-prompt-file is a cursor rule for coding agents from PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules. It costs 0 tokens per session (355 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A set of Cursor coding rules for creating React components in an existing codebase. It asks the assistant to check for similar components, prepare a detailed implementation prompt, and follow the project's package and styling conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning and adding React components, checking shared component locations, generating component prompts, and adapting the result to a monorepo-style project structure.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicate components and helps new UI code fit the repository's existing structure, imports, TypeScript usage, and Tailwind styling.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

react-components-creation-cursorrules-prompt-file scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Cursor Rules

Whenever you need a React component

  1. Carefully consider the component's purpose, functionality, and design

  2. Think slowly, step by step, and outline your reasoning

  3. Check if a similar component already exists in any of the following locations

    1. packages/ui/src/components
    2. apps/spa/src/components
  4. If it doesn't exist, generate a detailed prompt for the component, including:

    • Component name and purpose
    • Desired props and their types
    • Any specific styling or behavior requirements
    • Mention of using Tailwind CSS for styling
    • Request for TypeScript usage
  5. URL encode the prompt.

  6. Create a clickable link in this format: ComponentName

  7. After generating, adapt the component to fit our project structure:

    • Import
      • common shadcn/ui components from <ui_package_alias>@repo/ui/components/ui/</ui_package_alias>
      • app specific components from <app_package_alias>@/components</app_package_alias>
    • Ensure it follows our existing component patterns
    • Add any necessary custom logic or state management

Example prompt template: "Create a React component named {ComponentName} using TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. It should {description of functionality}. Props should include {list of props with types}. The component should {any specific styling or behavior notes}. Please provide the full component code."

Remember to replace placeholders like <ui_package_path> and <app_package_alias> with the actual values used in your project.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
