Cursor rule for Cursor

Install

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.

npx agentmods add rules/sullyo/webapp-starter/frontend
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sullyo/webapp-starter

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 2,649 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

frontend 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 today.

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.

Code Style and Structure

  • Write concise, technical TypeScript code with accurate examples.
  • Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes.
  • Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication.
  • Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading, hasError).
  • Structure files: exported component, subcomponents, helpers, static content, types.

Frontend Components

  • Prefer Server Components over Client Components when possible to reduce client-side JavaScript.
  • Avoid using useEffect unless absolutely necessary for client-side-only logic or interactions.
  • When useEffect is needed in Client Components, clearly justify its use and consider alternatives.
  • Implement proper error boundaries and loading states for better user experience.
  • Using default shadcn/ui color theme (I.e not hardcoded)
  • Some shadcn/ui components have been improved.

Component colocation

When building Next.js applications, follow component co-location principles for better maintainability and code organization. Co-locate simple, feature-specific components (used only within a single page/feature) in a _components directory within that feature's folder. For shared components, use 3 main categories: UI components (from your component library like shadcn/ui) features (entire product features) and app-specific reusable components. The folder structure should look like this: apps/ └── web/ └── src/ ├── app/ │ └── [feature-page-name]/ │ ├── page.tsx │ └── _components/ # highly page specific components (e.g., layout-card.tsx, feature-grid.tsx etc) ├── components/
│ ├── ui/ # Component library components (shadcn/ui) │ │ ├── button.tsx │ │ └── card.tsx │ └── layout/ # App specific, shared layout components │ ├── header.tsx │ └── footer.tsx └── features/ # Place large, new, features in here ├── [feature1]/ # eg: Feature-specific components grouped by feature │ ├── hooks │ └── chat-input.tsx └── [feature2]/ ├── toolbar.tsx └── canvas.tsx

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.
