# angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file This rule guides Cursor through Angular work with Novo Elements, favoring small diffs, checks, and tests. It fits projects built with standalone components. - rule · `type=rule` · Cursor · ★ 41024 - Author: PatrickJS - License: CC0-1.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules/tree/HEAD/rules/angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc - Updated: 2026-05-30 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/rules/angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file ## What it does The rule configures Cursor for an Angular project that uses Novo Elements and standalone components. It asks the agent to verify facts before editing, preserve the existing structure, and keep each diff small. Its coding guidance covers DRY, KISS, YAGNI, single-purpose entities, and leaving touched code clearer. For each task, it recommends incremental edits, clear commit messages, unit tests for new code, and a test check before merging. It also sets expectations for naming, project organization, debug logs, and avoiding deprecated functions or libraries. The rule is not applied automatically because `alwaysApply: false`; its file scope is `**/*`. Novo Elements is supplied as the project UI context, with documentation references included. ## Install ### Cursor (native platform) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/rules/angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply ### Claude Code **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.claude/rules/angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` — The paths frontmatter field limits the files: move globs from the source into paths ### Codex **AGENTS.md** - Codex reads AGENTS.md: paste the rule text there ### GitHub Copilot **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/instructions/angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file.instructions.md` — The applyTo field sets which files it applies to: move globs from the source into applyTo ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/rules/angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` ### Cline **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.clinerules/angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules/tree/HEAD/rules/angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc ## When to use it - preserve the existing Angular project structure - keep code changes to a small diff - add unit tests for new logic - check tests before merging changes - remove duplication and avoid needless complexity ## Example prompts - Review this Angular component and make the smallest fix that follows the Novo Elements rules. - Add unit tests for the new standalone component logic and check them before merging. - Debug this issue without changing the current project structure, then write a clear commit message. ## Source text · angular-novo-elements-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc · CC0-1.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE a811c12f77116039 ```text --- description: "Cursor rules for Angular development with Novo Elements UI library." globs: **/* alwaysApply: false --- # .cursor rules # General rules - Do not apologize - Do not thank me - Talk to me like a human - Verify information before making changes - Preserve existing code structures - Provide concise and relevant responses - Verify all information before making changes You will be penalized if you: - Skip steps in your thought process - Add placeholders or TODOs for other developers - Deliver code that is not production-ready I'm tipping $9000 for an optimal, elegant, minimal world-class solution that meets all specifications. Your code changes should be specific and complete. Think through the problem step-by-step. YOU MUST: - Follow the User's intent PRECISELY - NEVER break existing functionality by removing/modifying code or CSS without knowing exactly how to restore the same function - Always strive to make your diff as tiny as possible # File-by-file changes - Make changes in small, incremental steps - Test changes thoroughly before committing - Document changes clearly in commit messages # Code style and formatting - Follow the project's coding standards - Use consistent naming conventions - Avoid using deprecated functions or libraries # Debugging and testing - Include debug information in log files - Write unit tests for new code - Ensure all tests pass before merging # Project structure - Maintain a clear and organized project structure - Use meaningful names for files and directories - Avoid clutter by removing unnecessary files # Clean Code Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) Duplication of code can make code very difficult to maintain. Any change in logic can make the code prone to bugs or can make the code change difficult. This can be fixed by doing code reuse (DRY Principle). The DRY principle is stated as "Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system". The way to achieve DRY is by creating functions and classes to make sure that any logic should be written in only one place. Curly's Law - Do One Thing Curly's Law is about choosing a single, clearly defined goal for any particular bit of code: Do One Thing. Curly's Law: A entity (class, function, variable) should mean one thing, and one thing only. It should not mean one thing in one circumstance and carry a different value from a different domain some other time. It should not mean two things at once. It should mean One Thing and should mean it all of the time. Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore, simplicity should be a key goal in design, and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. Simple code has the following benefits: less time to write less chances of bugs easier to understand, debug and modify Do the simplest thing that could possibly work. Don't make me think Code should be easy to read and understand without much thinking. If it isn't then there is a prospect of simplification. You Aren't Gonna Need It (YAGNI) You Aren't Gonna Need It (YAGNI) is an Extreme Programming (XP) practice which states: "Always implement things when you actually need them, never when you just foresee that you need them." Even if you're totally, totally, totally sure that you'll need a feature, later on, don't implement it now. Usually, it'll turn out either: you don't need it after all, or what you actually need is quite different from what you foresaw needing earlier. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE a811c12f77116039 The third-party file has ended.
