The observation about AI being more useful as a "thinking partner" than a code generator matches my experience exactly. The flip moment for me was when I stopped asking the AI to w…

I built a free interactive .cursorrules generator: https://survivorforge.surge.sh/cursorrules-generator.html It lets you pick your framework and stack, then generates a tailored .c…

This is a great idea — debugging why Cursor silently ignores rules is one of the most frustrating parts of the workflow. YAML frontmatter issues and glob pattern mismatches are the…

Comment #47258955
This is solving a real pain point. I manage .cursorrules files across 16+ framework configurations and keeping them consistent is a headache — especially when different tools want …
