Cursor規則:讓AI編碼效率最大化
使用 Cursor 規則編寫游標規則:最大化 AI 編碼效率
在 AI 輔助編碼快速發展的領域中,像 Cursor 這樣的工具已經成為開發人員不可或缺的資產。然而,許多程序員發現,與 AI 編碼助手合作時存在一個獨特的挑戰:它們具有驚人的上下文記憶能力,但完全缺乏情境記憶。
本文探討如何通過對 Cursor 規則的系統方法來克服這一限制,包括使用 AI 自己編寫規則的元方法。讓我們深入了解這個問題並實施優雅的解決方案。
理解 AI 記憶挑戰
如果您花費了大量時間使用 Cursor 這樣的 AI 助手進行編碼,您可能會遇到一種奇特的現象。在一個對話中,AI 展現了對上下文的驚人回憶—記住您定義的變量、您解釋的架構決策以及您指定的編碼規範。
但一旦開始新的聊天會話,AI 就像您正在與一個完全不同的實體合作,完全不了解您之前的互動。這就造成了一個令人沮喪的局面,您必須反复向 AI 說明相同的項目特定規則:
- 「我們在這個項目中使用 camelCase」
- 「我們的工具集是組織在 lib 文件夾中,結構如下」
- 「我們的後端 API 期望請求格式如下」
- 「我們的項目遵循這種特定的文件夾組織」
這種重複消耗了寶貴的開發時間,打破了富有成效的編碼會話的流程。持續重新教育 AI 助手的認知負擔可能大大降低這些工具承諾的效率收益。
在 AI 工作中,為何系統很重要
要更好地理解這一挑戰,可以考慮一個類比:想象自己管理多個開發項目,擁有才華橫溢的程序員,但不幸的是他們每天早上都會失去記憶。儘管技術上頗具才華,但您每天必須花費數小時重新解釋規範、架構和先前的決策。
您會如何解決這個問題?您會建立系統:
- 全面的文檔
- 詳細的風格指南
- 清晰的架構圖
- 標準化的代碼模板
這些系統將使您的才華橫溢但記憶受損的團隊能夠快速恢復上下文並在項目之間保持一致性。與 AI 輔助開發的平行嵌合非常完美—we 需要等效的系統,使我們每次新互動時 AI 工具能夠立即跟上進度。
雖然這個系統方法可能對於快速、一次性的腳本來說過於繁瑣,但它在逐步建立的每週或每月開發的嚴肅應用中變得至關重要。在創建這些系統上的時間投入通過一致、高效的開發帶來了顯著的收益。
Cursor 規則:系統化解決方案
Cursor 的創作者認識到了這一挑戰,並實施了一個巧妙的解決方案:Cursor 規則。這些是存儲在您項目中的永久指令文件,為 AI 提供一致的指導。
Cursor 規則位於您的 Git 儲存庫的 .cursor/rules/
目錄中,並編寫為 .mdc
文件(帶有特殊指令的 Markdown)。每個規則文件包含教 AI 如何處理您特定代碼庫的指令。
這種方法的美妙之處在於不同的儲存庫可以有不同的規則,且每個儲存庫通常包含多個規則來處理項目的各個方面。當 Cursor 遇到與規則模式(由 glob
模式定義)相匹配的文件時,它會自動加載相關知識。
例如,您可能有針對以下方面的單獨規則:
- React 組件結構
- API 端點實現
- 數據庫模型定義
- 測試規範
這在所有 AI 互動中創造了一致性,消除了反复解釋相同概念的必要性。官方 Cursor 文檔 提供了對規則工作原理的全面解釋。
克服實施障礙
雖然 Cursor 規則的概念很簡單—閱讀文檔並編寫一些 .mdc
文件—但許多開發人員在實施它們時裹足不前。這種猶豫源於人們常見的傾向:我們明白長期的利益,但被編寫這些規則時的短期阻力阻擋。
這個實施差距揭示了一個有趣的悖論:我們知道規則可以在幾週和幾個月內節省大量時間,但我們經常不去創建它們,因為編寫它們似乎是一個即時的障礙。
解決方案?構建一個系統來構建系統本身。這種元方法利用 AI 自己編寫規則,創建一個可持續框架,將規則創建的摩擦降到最低。
Meta-Cursor 規則方法
這裡的核心創新是創建一個主要規則,作為為所有其他規則編寫模板—元游標規則。這個單一規則定義了所有其他規則應該遵循的結構和內容。
有了這個元規則,創建新規則的過程變得異常簡單:
- 注意到您想編碼化的模式或慣例
- 打開 Cursor 聊天
- 參考您的元規則(例如,「使用 cursor-rule-creation.mdc 指南...」)
- 讓 AI 根據當前對話寫一個新規則
這種方法通常在兩個常見場景中閃耀:
- 長時間編碼後:當您花了數小時在 AI 上進行特定的模式或慣例,您可以簡單指示:「根據我們的討論並遵循元游標規則模式,請為此方法創建一個規則。」
- 實施預定義的想法時:如果您已經確切知道要編碼化的模式,您可以簡要描述您的意圖,參考元規則,並請 AI 生成針對性的規則。
這種方法大大減少了構建規則庫的努力,因為 AI 根據您的模板生成結構良好的草稿,您可以快速保存並實施。
可立即使用的 Meta-Cursor 規則模板
以下是一個全面的元游標規則模板,您可以立即在項目中實施。將此保存為 .cursor/rules/cursor-rule-creation.mdc
(或任何首選名稱)以建立創建其他所有規則的基礎:
--- title: Creating Effective Cursor Project Rules description: Comprehensive guidelines for creating well-structured Cursor Project Rules (.mdc files) to help AI understand your codebase and coding style. glob: "**/*.{mdc}" alwaysApply: true --- # Creating Effective Cursor Project Rules This meta-rule provides comprehensive guidance on creating effective Cursor Project Rules. These are `.mdc` files stored in your project's `.cursor/rules` directory that help the AI understand your specific codebase, conventions, and preferences. Following these guidelines will help you create rules that are easily understood by both humans and the AI, leading to more consistent and helpful AI interactions. ## What are Cursor Project Rules? Project Rules are the recommended way to provide persistent, project-specific instructions to Cursor's AI. They live alongside your code (in `.cursor/rules/`) and are automatically activated when files matching their defined patterns (`glob`) are referenced in chat or other AI features. Think of them as a structured knowledge base for your project, teaching the AI: * Coding conventions and style guides * Architectural patterns * API usage and interfaces * Domain-specific knowledge * Your personal or team preferences ## Rule File Structure While flexible, a well-structured rule file improves clarity for both humans and the AI. Consider including the following components: ### 1. YAML Frontmatter (Crucial) **Placement:** The YAML frontmatter block (`--- ... ---`) **must** be the absolute first content in the file. Any leading spaces, lines, or characters can prevent the rule from loading correctly. ```yaml --- title: Brief Title of the Rule (e.g., React Component Guidelines) description: Guidelines for [what this rule covers and its purpose, e.g., structuring functional React components] glob: "[pattern/to/match/files/**/*.{ext}]" # See examples below alwaysApply: false # Optional: Set to true to always include this rule --- ``` * **`title`**: A clear, descriptive title (5-7 words recommended). * **`description`**: A concise, semantic description. Start with phrases like "Guidelines for..." or "Instructions on..." This likely helps Cursor automatically select the most relevant rule when multiple match. * **`glob`**: File pattern(s) that trigger this rule's automatic activation. Be specific. * Examples: * `src/components/**/*.{tsx,jsx}` (React components) * `src/server/api/**/*.ts` (Server API routes) * `*.{json,yaml,yml}` (Configuration files) * `src/utils/!(test).ts` (Utility files, excluding tests) * `{package.json,pnpm-lock.yaml}` (Specific root files) * **`alwaysApply`** (Optional, defaults to `false`): If `true`, the rule is included in context regardless of the files being referenced. ### 2. Content Sections (Recommended Structure) Organize the rule's content logically. Using markdown headings (`##`, `###`) is recommended. #### Introduction / Problem * Briefly explain _what_ problem this rule solves or _what_ pattern it defines. * Explain *why* this pattern/convention is important for this project. * Mention _when_ this rule is typically relevant. #### Pattern Description * Clearly document the recommended pattern(s) or conventions. * Use text explanations combined with clear code examples (using language-specific fenced code blocks). * Highlight key components, functions, or concepts involved. * If applicable, link to other relevant rules: `[See API Conventions](mdc:api-conventions.mdc)` #### Implementation Steps (If Applicable) * Provide a clear, step-by-step guide if the rule describes a process. * Use ordered lists. * Identify decision points or variations. #### Real-World Examples (Highly Recommended) * Link to _actual code_ in the current repository using relative paths: `[Example Button](mdc:../src/components/ui/Button.tsx)`. * Briefly explain *why* the linked code is a good example of the rule. * Keep examples focused on the rule being described. #### Common Pitfalls / Anti-Patterns * List common mistakes or deviations related to this rule. * Explain how to recognize these issues. * Suggest how to fix or avoid them. **Note:** Adapt this structure based on the rule's complexity. Simpler rules might only need frontmatter and a brief description or a few key points. ## Advanced Features ### File References (`@file`) Include critical context files directly within your rule using the `@file` directive. Place these *after* the frontmatter but ideally *before* the main content. ```markdown @file ../tsconfig.json @file ../package.json @file ./docs/ARCHITECTURE.md ``` * Use relative paths from the rule file's location (`.cursor/rules/`). * These files will be added to the context *whenever this rule is activated*, providing consistent background information to the AI. * Use sparingly for essential files (configs, core types, architectural overviews) to avoid excessive context. ### Code Blocks Always use fenced code blocks with language specifiers for correct rendering and potential syntax highlighting by the AI: ```markdown ```typescript function greet(name: string): string { // Correctly formatted TypeScript return `Hello, ${name}!`; } ``` ``` ## Rule Activation and Interaction * **Automatic Activation:** Rules are primarily activated automatically when files matching their `glob` pattern are included in the context (e.g., opened file, @-referenced files, files included in `@codebase` search results). * **Semantic Selection:** The `description` field likely helps Cursor choose the _most relevant_ rule if multiple rules match the same file via their `glob` patterns. * **Manual Activation:** You can explicitly include specific rules in a chat prompt using the `@Cursor Rules` symbol (e.g., `@Cursor Rules(react-component-guide.mdc)`). * **Specificity:** More specific `glob` patterns are generally preferred to avoid unintended rule overlaps. If rules overlap, the exact selection logic isn't documented, but clearer descriptions and more specific globs likely lead to better results. * **Modularity:** Break down complex domains (like your entire backend) into smaller, more focused rules (e.g., `api-routing.mdc`, `database-models.mdc`, `auth-middleware.mdc`) rather than creating one monolithic rule. ## Best Practices * **Start Simple, Iterate:** Don't aim for perfection immediately. Start with basic rules for core conventions and add/refine them over time as you observe the AI's behavior and identify gaps. * **Be Specific but Flexible:** Provide clear, actionable guidance with concrete examples. Use recommending language ("prefer", "consider", "typically") rather than overly rigid commands ("must", "always") unless a strict convention is required. Explain the *why* behind rules. * **Focus on Patterns:** Rules should define repeatable patterns, conventions, or project knowledge, not fix one-off bugs. * **Keep Rules Updated:** Regularly review rules. Update them when conventions change or code evolves. *Delete* rules that become obsolete或 if的十字 inherently which consistently follows the pattern without the rule. * **Trust the LLM (to an extent):** While rules provide guidance, allow the LLM some flexibility. It can often infer patterns from the existing codebase, especially as it grows. * **Troubleshooting:** If rules aren't activating as expected, double-check: * The YAML frontmatter is the _absolute first_ content in the file. * The `glob` pattern correctly matches the intended files. * File paths in `@file` directives are correct. * The `.mdc` file encoding is standard (UTF-8). ## Team Collaboration * **Version Control:** Commit the `.cursor/rules` directory to your repository so rules are shared and versioned alongside your code. * **Conventions:** Establish team conventions for naming, structuring, and updating rules. * **Review Process:** Consider code reviews for changes to important rules. * **Onboarding:** Use rules as living documentation to help onboard new team members to project standards. * **Shared vs. Personal:** If needed, establish naming conventions (e.g., `_personal-*.mdc`) and potentially use `.gitignore` within `.cursor/rules` to separate team-wide rules from personal experimental ones. ## Full Rule Example ```markdown --- title: React Functional Component Structure description: Guidelines for structuring functional React components using TypeScript, including prop definitions, state management, and hook usage. glob: "src/components/**/*.tsx" alwaysApply: false --- @file ../../tsconfig.json @file ../../tailwind.config.js # React Functional Component Structure ## Introduction This rule defines the standard structure for functional React components in this project to ensure consistency, readability, and maintainability. We use TypeScript for type safety and prefer hooks for state and side effects. ## Pattern Description Components should generally follow this order: 1. `'use client'` directive (if needed) 2. Imports (React, libs, internal, types, styles) 3. Props interface definition (`ComponentNameProps`) 4. Component function definition (`function ComponentName(...)`) 5. State hooks (`useState`) 6. Other hooks (`useMemo`, `useCallback`, `useEffect`, custom hooks) 7. Helper functions (defined outside or memoized inside) 8. `useEffect` blocks 9. Return statement (JSX) ```typescript 'use client' // Only if browser APIs or hooks like useState/useEffect are needed import React, { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from 'react'; import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'; // Example internal utility import { type VariantProps, cva } from 'class-variance-authority'; // Define props interface interface ButtonProps extends React.ButtonHTMLAttributes, VariantProps { isLoading?: boolean; } // Define component function Button({ className, variant, size, isLoading, children, ...props }: ButtonProps): React.ReactElement { // State hooks const [isMounted, setIsMounted] = useState(false); // Other hooks const handleClick = useCallback((event: React.MouseEvent ) => { if (isLoading) { event.preventDefault(); return; } props.onClick?.(event); }, [isLoading, props.onClick]); // Effects useEffect(() => { setIsMounted(true); }, []); // Conditional rendering logic can go here // Return JSX return ( ); } // Example variant definition (could be in the same file or imported) const buttonVariants = cva( 'inline-flex items-center justify-center rounded-md text-sm font-medium transition-colors focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring focus-visible:ring-offset-2 disabled:opacity-50 disabled:pointer-events-none ring-offset-background', { variants: { variant: { default: 'bg-primary text-primary-foreground hover:bg-primary/90', // ... other variants }, size: { default: 'h-10 py-2 px-4', // ... other sizes }, }, defaultVariants: { variant: 'default', size: 'default', }, } ); export { Button, buttonVariants }; // Prefer named exports ``` ## Implementation Steps 1. Define a clear `interface` for props. 2. Use standard React hooks for state and side effects. 3. Keep components focused on a single responsibility. 4. Use named exports for components. ## Real-World Examples * [Standard Button Component](mdc:../src/components/ui/button.tsx) * [Complex Card Component](mdc:../src/components/ui/card.tsx) ## Common Pitfalls * Forgetting `'use client'` when using hooks like `useState` or `useEffect`. * Defining helper functions directly inside the component body without `useCallback` (can cause unnecessary re-renders). * Overly complex components; consider breaking them down. * Not using TypeScript for props or state. ``` ## Minimal Rule Template Use this as a quick starting point for new rules: ```markdown --- title: [Rule Name] description: Guidelines for [purpose] glob: "[pattern]" alwaysApply: false --- # [Rule Name] ## Introduction / Problem [Why this rule exists and what problem it solves.] ## Pattern Description [Explain the pattern with code examples.] ## Real-World Examples * [Link to code](mdc:../path/to/example.ts) ## Common Pitfalls * [Common mistake 1] * [Common mistake 2] ```
