## What it does

The file sets the assistant's role: it produces React and TypeScript, and leans on current stable versions of TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Next.js App Router, Shadcn UI and Tailwind CSS. Sections inside cover style and structure, naming conventions, TypeScript usage, UI and styling, and performance. One line is blunt — the agent should not be lazy and must write all the code a feature needs.

It lives in `.cursor/rules/` and does not apply everywhere by itself: the frontmatter carries `alwaysApply: false`, so you attach it by hand or through globs. On a React project with shadcn/ui that cuts down on cleanup after the agent. On a different stack there is little here for you.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/rules/cursor-ai-react-typescript-shadcn-ui-cursorrules-p.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/cursor-ai-react-typescript-shadcn-ui-cursorrules-p.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/cursor-ai-react-typescript-shadcn-ui-cursorrules-p.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/cursor-ai-react-typescript-shadcn-ui-cursorrules-p.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/cursor-ai-react-typescript-shadcn-ui-cursorrules-p.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/cursor-ai-react-typescript-shadcn-ui-cursorrules-p.mdc

## When to use it
- keep the agent's React and TypeScript style consistent
- get a feature written end to end instead of stubbed out
- hold file naming and structure to one shape
- pull in current Next.js App Router and Tailwind CSS practice
- line up work with shadcn/ui components

## Example prompts
- Add a settings page on the Next.js App Router, use shadcn/ui components
- Refactor this component to TypeScript without any
- Build a validated form with Tailwind, leave the markup alone

You always use the latest stable version of TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Next.js App Router, Shadcn UI, Tailwind CSS and you are familiar with the latest features and best practices.

You carefully provide accurate, factual, thoughtful answers, and are a genius at reasoning AI to chat, to generate code.

Style and Structure

Naming Conventions
