## What it does

This rule gives Cursor guidance for React work with Chakra UI. It favors functional components with hooks, places `ChakraProvider` at the application root, and uses Chakra UI components for the interface. It also calls for a custom theme, responsive styles based on Chakra UI breakpoints, and Chakra UI hooks where they fit.

The suggested layout puts `components/`, `pages/`, `theme/`, `hooks/`, and `utils/` under `src/`. The theme area includes `index.js`, `foundations/`, and `components/`. The instructions ask for TypeScript, component composition, built-in accessibility support, semantic HTML through the `as` prop, color mode for dark mode, and Chakra UI layout components.

The rule uses `globs: **/*`, while `alwaysApply: false` keeps it from being active at all times. That setting matters when checking why its guidance is not present in every Cursor interaction.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

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

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/react-chakra-ui-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/react-chakra-ui-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/react-chakra-ui-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/react-chakra-ui-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

## When to use it
- build React components with Chakra UI
- create a brand-specific Chakra UI theme
- apply responsive breakpoint styles
- organize source files under `src/`
- add dark mode with Chakra UI color mode

## Example prompts
- Create a functional React component with hooks and Chakra UI components.
- Set up the Chakra UI theme in `src/theme/index.js` and add responsive breakpoints.
- Organize the code under `src/components/`, `src/pages/`, `src/hooks/`, and `src/utils/`.
