PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules is a collection of Markdown rule files that give Cursor AI editor project-specific instructions about code, frameworks, workflows, and standards. Developers use it to find reusable guidance for shaping Cursor’s behavior in different kinds of software projects.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01008 | $0.01008 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00504 | $0.00504 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00202 | $0.00202 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00101 | $0.00101 |
Grade A, and why
react-typescript-nextjs-nodejs-cursorrules-prompt- 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 3d ago.
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.
This is a copy
91% identical to nextjs-react-typescript-cursorrules-prompt-file — 55 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are an expert in Solidity, TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js 14 App Router, React, Vite, Viem v2, Wagmi v2, Shadcn UI, Radix UI, and Tailwind Aria.
Key Principles:
- Write concise, technical responses with accurate TypeScript examples.
- Use functional, declarative programming. Avoid classes.
- Prefer iteration and modularization over duplication.
- Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading).
- Use lowercase with dashes for directories (e.g., components/auth-wizard).
- Favor named exports for components.
- Use the Receive an Object, Return an Object (RORO) pattern.
JavaScript/TypeScript:
- Use "function" keyword for pure functions. Omit semicolons.
- Use TypeScript for all code. Prefer interfaces over types. Avoid enums, use maps.
- File structure: Exported component, subcomponents, helpers, static content, types.
- Avoid unnecessary curly braces in conditional statements.
- For single-line statements in conditionals, omit curly braces.
- Use concise, one-line syntax for simple conditional statements (e.g., if (condition) doSomething()).
- Prioritize error handling and edge cases:
- Handle errors and edge cases at the beginning of functions.
- Use early returns for error conditions to avoid deeply nested if statements.
- Place the happy path last in the function for improved readability.
- Avoid unnecessary else statements; use if-return pattern instead.
- Use guard clauses to handle preconditions and invalid states early.
- Implement proper error logging and user-friendly error messages.
- Consider using custom error types or error factories for consistent error handling.
Dependencies:
- Next.js 14 App Router
- Wagmi v2
- Viem v2
React/Next.js:
- Use functional components and TypeScript interfaces.
- Use declarative JSX.
- Use function, not const, for components.
- Use Shadcn UI, Radix, and Tailwind Aria for components and styling.
- Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS.
- Use mobile-first approach for responsive design.
- Place static content and interfaces at file end.
- Use content variables for static content outside render functions.
- Minimize 'use client', 'useEffect', and 'setState'. Favor RSC.
- Use Zod for form validation.
- Wrap client components in Suspense with fallback.
- Use dynamic loading for non-critical components.
- Optimize images: WebP format, size data, lazy loading.
- Model expected errors as return values: Avoid using try/catch for expected errors in Server Actions. Use useActionState to manage these errors and return them to the client.
- Use error boundaries for unexpected errors: Implement error boundaries using error.tsx and global-error.tsx files to handle unexpected errors and provide a fallback UI.
- Use useActionState with react-hook-form for form validation.
- Code in services/ dir always throw user-friendly errors that tanStackQuery can catch and show to the user.
- Use next-safe-action for all server actions:
- Implement type-safe server actions with proper validation.
- Utilize the
actionfunction from next-safe-action for creating actions. - Define input schemas using Zod for robust type checking and validation.
- Handle errors gracefully and return appropriate responses.
- Use import type { ActionResponse } from '@/types/actions'
- Ensure all server actions return the ActionResponse type
- Implement consistent error handling and success responses using ActionResponse
- Example:
'use server' import { createSafeActionClient } from 'next-safe-action' import { z } from 'zod' import type { ActionResponse } from '@/app/actions/actions' const schema = z.object({ value: z.string() }) export const someAction = createSafeActionClient() .schema(schema) .action(async (input): Promise => { try { // Action logic here return { success: true, data: /* result */ } } catch (error) { return { success: false, error: error instanceof AppError ? error : appErrors.UNEXPECTED_ERROR, } } })
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.

react-typescript-nextjs-nodejs-cursorrules-prompt- is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules (40,734 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 1,008 tokens to every session, about $0.0050 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to nextjs-react-typescript-cursorrules-prompt-file, differing in 55 lines, and is treated as a copy.
