What nativescript-cursorrules-prompt-file does

The file lays out how a NativeScript codebase should be built. The agent gets a short list of practices: use @nativescript/core features and common web APIs where they fit, wire navigation through NativeScript Navigation, keep images, sounds and video in the assets folder and custom fonts in fonts. Error handling is expected too.

Folder structure is fixed: src/ with assets, components, services and utils inside. Then come four dependency rules — TypeScript for type safety, @nativescript/secure-storage for sensitive data, @nativescript/biometrics for anything biometric, and nativescript-fonticon for font icons. If your app already stores tokens its own way, the rule will push the agent toward secure-storage, so watch whether it starts rewriting working auth code.

The header sets alwaysApply: false with a **/* glob. The rule does not switch itself on; you attach it to a prompt or to specific files, otherwise it just sits in the repo.

What it helps with

give the agent one folder layout for a NativeScript app
move navigation onto NativeScript Navigation
keep images and fonts in the right directories
wire biometrics and secure storage the NativeScript way
write typed TypeScript instead of plain JS

Example prompts for the agent

Create a new screen in src/components and route to it with NativeScript Navigation
Put the icons in fonts and load them with nativescript-fonticon
Add fingerprint login using @nativescript/biometrics

Questions about nativescript-cursorrules-prompt-file

How do I install nativescript-cursorrules-prompt-file in Cursor?

Create .cursor/rules/nativescript-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc in your project root and paste the rule contents into it.

What does nativescript-cursorrules-prompt-file do?

It gives the Cursor agent NativeScript conventions: @nativescript/core usage, navigation, the src/ layout, and libraries for storage, biometrics and font icons.

Does the rule apply to every file automatically?

No. The header marks it alwaysApply: false, so you attach it to a prompt or to specific files even though the glob is **/*.
