# tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-cursorrules-prompt-file A Cursor instruction file for Next.js apps with Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI. It enforces strict TypeScript, Biome linting, and web3 conventions. - rule · `type=rule` · Cursor · ★ 41024 - Author: PatrickJS - License: CC0-1.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules/tree/HEAD/rules/tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc - Updated: 2026-05-30 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/rules/tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-cursorrules-prompt-file ## What it does This rule guides Cursor when generating frontend code with Tailwind CSS utility classes and DaisyUI components. It targets the Next.js Pages router, directing the agent to write dynamic routes as `[id].tsx` and fetch data through `getServerSideProps` or `getStaticProps`. Custom CSS is discouraged unless strictly necessary. The configuration mandates `strict: true` in `tsconfig.json` and bans `any` in favor of `unknown` with runtime checks. It also adopts Biome for formatting, requiring a pre-commit hook setup. Alongside UI rules, the prompt includes guidelines for Cairo smart contracts and Starknet React hooks. If your repository does not use Biome, the pre-commit checks will fail. ## Install ### Cursor (native platform) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/rules/tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply ### Claude Code **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.claude/rules/tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-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/tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-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/tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` ### Cline **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.clinerules/tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-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/tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc ## When to use it - enforce Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI component styling - standardize dynamic data fetching in Next.js Pages router - replace any types with unknown and runtime checks - configure Biome code checks as a pre-commit step ## Example prompts - Create a responsive user profile card using DaisyUI and Tailwind CSS. - Build a dynamic route [id].tsx fetching data with getServerSideProps. - Write a Starknet React hook to manage transaction state. ## Source text · tailwind-css-nextjs-guide-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc · CC0-1.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.
