## What it does

This rule describes a Next.js project with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Material UI, shadcn/ui, and Aceternity UI. It sets the use of `src/`, App Router, and the `@/` import alias. Its file pattern is `**/*`, while automatic application is disabled.

The rule also records project dependencies such as `@mui/material`, `@mui/icons-material`, `@emotion/react`, `@emotion/styled`, `framer-motion`, `next-auth`, `prisma`, `@prisma/client`, and `ckeditor5`. The listed versions include Tailwind CSS `3.4.3` and Next.js `14.2.3`.

ESLint is set to `No` in the project choices, so this rule does not establish an ESLint workflow. Put the file in Cursor’s rules directory, then ask the agent to work within this stack.

## Install

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/nextjs-material-ui-tailwind-css-cursorrules-prompt.md` — The paths frontmatter field limits the files: move globs from the source into paths

### Codex

- Codex reads AGENTS.md: paste the rule text there

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/instructions/nextjs-material-ui-tailwind-css-cursorrules-prompt.instructions.md` — The applyTo field sets which files it applies to: move globs from the source into applyTo

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

## When to use it
- set up a Next.js project stack
- combine Tailwind CSS with Material UI
- use `src/` with App Router
- record Prisma and NextAuth dependencies
- keep the `@/` import alias

## Example prompts
- Create a page under `src/` with App Router, using Tailwind CSS and Material UI components.
- Add a TypeScript form with `@mui/material` and `@emotion/react` to the current project.
- Check that this component fits Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and the `@/` import alias.
