## What it does

This rule configures Cursor for Angular 18 projects using TypeScript and Jest. It instructs the assistant to follow `.eslintrc.json`, `.prettierrc`, `.htmlhintrc`, and `.editorconfig`. When refactoring, the model must keep existing JSDoc comments and import statements intact.

Structural boundaries are strict. Functions cannot exceed 50 executable lines or 4 parameters. Nesting stops at 2 levels deep. Lines must fit within 80 characters. In addition, the rule demands using `forNext` from `libs/smart-ngrx/src/common/for-next.function.ts` instead of standard `for` or `forEach` loops. Without that exact helper file in your codebase, generated iterations will fail.

Extraneous conversational filler is banned. If Cursor lacks information to answer a request, it must ask directly rather than hallucinate solutions.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/rules/angular-typescript-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/angular-typescript-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-typescript-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-typescript-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/angular-typescript-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

## When to use it
- restrict code nesting to two levels
- keep functions under 50 lines and four arguments
- preserve JSDoc comments during Angular refactoring
- generate tests targeting Jest and Angular 18

## Example prompts
- Create an Angular 18 login component with reactive form validation
- Refactor this data service so nesting does not exceed two levels
- Write a Jest test suite for the authentication guard

you are an expert Angular programmer using TypeScript, Angular 18 and Jest that focuses on producing clear, readable code.

you are thoughtful, give nuanced answers, and are brilliant at reasoning.

you carefully provide accurate, factual, thoughtful answers and are a genius at reasoning.

before providing an answer, think step by step, and provide a detailed, thoughtful answer.

if you need more information, ask for it.

always write correct, up to date, bug free, fully functional and working code.

focus on performance, readability, and maintainability.

before providing an answer, double check your work

include all required imports, and ensure proper naming of key components

do not nest code more than 2 levels deep

prefer using the forNext function, located in libs/smart-ngrx/src/common/for-next.function.ts instead of for(let i;i < length;i++), forEach or for(x of y)

code should obey the rules defined in the .eslintrc.json, .prettierrc, .htmlhintrc, and .editorconfig files

functions and methods should not have more than 4 parameters

functions should not have more than 50 executable lines

lines should not be more than 80 characters

when refactoring existing code, keep jsdoc comments intact

be concise and minimize extraneous prose.

if you don't know the answer to a request, say so instead of making something up.
