What's inside
Cursor project rules
.cursor/rules/project.mdc plus a legacy .cursorrules: plan-first workflow, small diffs, security rules, a clear "done" definition.
CLAUDE.md
Project memory for Claude Code with the same core rules, plus plan mode, test runs and no-destructive-commands guardrails.
AGENTS.md
For Codex, Aider, Cline, Windsurf, Jules and any agent that reads AGENTS.md. Setup, PR and "stop if blocked" rules.
10 prompts: idea → deploy
Sharpen the idea, spec, stack, scaffold, core feature, auth, milestones, senior review, polish, deploy. Paste in order.
Vibe-coding checklist
35+ checks across secrets and env vars, auth and data, input and abuse, dependencies, testing and deploy.
Tool picker
One page: which AI coding tool for which job, with links to our notes on Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and more.
Who it's for
- You build with AI agents and want them to stop rewriting half the repo for a one-line fix
- You switch between Cursor, Claude Code and Codex and want one set of rules that works in all of them
- You're about to put an AI-coded app on the internet and want to check it's not leaking keys or other people's data
