Cursor, Codex, Claude Code prompts collection cover image

Hello and welcome to the new blog

This blog is originally published on and for ihatereading.in

Last month, I wrote a new stunning aggregator or collection-based blog, 300+ SAAS Directories to submit your website, project and tool, making it easy for solo-developers and indie-hackers to promote their product.

The post/blog/article works well on the internet, which gives me another idea of providing more such content on iHateReading, the exact reason I built iHateReading.

Imagine we are all using AI agents in 2027 and in future; one thing that is sure in that case is prompt engineering, or prompts or rules for your AI tool. Chatgpt, Claude and Codex or Cursor all work as AI agents similarly, but the only thing that matters to differentiate the results is the prompts/rules/skills.

200+ AI Cursor Agent Rules, Why and

I have been using Cursor for the past year, and I work very well for our team, but one thing was missing: the same prompts every time, the same theme and design system for every prompt to make better websites, write better test cases, make a responsive website or integrate dark/light themes using Tailwind variables.

All those tasks need the same prompt, and rewriting them is time consuming tasks, instead, we can have a list or collection to solve this problem.

Extensive list of Cursor rules for each of the tech stack, SDK, APIs, such as

Nextjs, React, Vite and Tanstack Cursor rules
Firebase, Supabase, Appwrite, NeonDB, CockroachDB, Prisma, Drizzle ORM database rules
Stripe, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Dodo and Paystack, PayPal-based payments rules for AI agents
Best practices for React, Tailwind and Javascript/Typescript, Rust/Python/Go rules for AI agents

All the above tasks are repeated ones by nature, and we need a collection to simply copy-paste them.

We ended up building one and took a few inspirations from online Github repositories, https://github.com/PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules

200+ Cursor AI Rules Agent

> It's FREE to use

How to use them?

Go to the cursor rules page
Check the rules you are working on, Firebase or React or Tailwind
Click the rule and copy-paste the prompt
Add that prompt inside Claude Code, Codex, Lovable, Bolt or Cursor and make your code better

Simple 4 step process to make better product

That would be enough for today, do give it a check, I am adding more rules and if you find anything missing or more to add, feel free to DM me or email, I reply to all emails

See you in the next one
