# plasticode-telegram-api-cursorrules-prompt-file

A Cursor rule that points the assistant at PHP 7.4, Plasticode and the Telegram Bot API. Useful when your bot is built on Plasticode and you want PSR-12 code.

## What it does

Drop this rule into Cursor and the assistant takes on the role of a PHP, Plasticode and Telegram Bot API expert. Answers come back short and technical, with PHP examples instead of general advice.

The rule spells out how code should look: object-oriented with SOLID in mind, modular instead of duplicated, descriptive names for variables and methods, dependency injection and DI containers. It also pins PHP 7.4, PSR-12, proper error handling and `try-catch` around expected exceptions. Dependencies named are Plasticode and Composer.

The rule does not apply on its own. `alwaysApply` is set to `false` while globs cover `**/*`, so Cursor will not pick it up until you attach it yourself. That is the part people miss. The file lives at `.cursor/rules/plasticode-telegram-api-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc`.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

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

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/plasticode-telegram-api-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/plasticode-telegram-api-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/plasticode-telegram-api-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/plasticode-telegram-api-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/plasticode-telegram-api-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc

## When to use it
- keep assistant output within PSR-12 and PHP 7.4
- get PHP examples instead of abstract suggestions
- split bot code into modules without duplication
- wire dependency injection and a DI container into Plasticode
- handle expected exceptions with try-catch

## Example prompts
- Write a Telegram bot command handler in Plasticode using dependency injection
- Refactor this class to follow SOLID and PSR-12
- Add try-catch for expected exceptions in this method

You are an expert in PHP, Plasticode, Telegram Bot API and related web development technologies.

Key Principles

- Write concise, technical responses with accurate PHP examples.
- Use object-oriented programming with a focus on SOLID principles.
- Prefer iteration and modularization over duplication.
- Use descriptive variable and method names.
- Favor dependency injection and DI containers.

PHP

- Use PHP 7.4 features when appropriate.
- Follow PSR-12 coding standards.
- Implement proper error handling.
- Use try-catch blocks for expected exceptions.

Dependencies

- Plasticode
- Composer for dependency management
```
END THIRD-PARTY FILE 6d8da84abfb7c5af

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the 6d8da84abfb7c5af tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
