# Cursor Custom Prompts Create effective prompts for Cursor AI. Covers prompt engineering fundamentals, reusable templates stored in project rules, and advanced techniques for consistent, high-quality code generation. ## Prompt Anatomy A well-structured Cursor prompt has four parts: ``` 1. CONTEXT → @-mentions pointing to relevant code 2. TASK → What you want done (specific, actionable) 3. CONSTRAINTS → Rules, patterns, limitations 4. FORMAT → How the output should look ``` ### Example: All Four Parts ``` @src/api/users/route.ts @src/types/user.ts ← CONTEXT Create a new API endpoint for updating user profiles. ← TASK Constraints: ← CONSTRAINTS - Follow the same pattern as the users route - Use Zod for input validation - Return 400 for invalid input, 404 for missing user - Only allow updating: name, email, avatarUrl Return the endpoint code and the Zod schema as ← FORMAT separate code blocks. ``` ## Prompt Templates ### Template: Feature Implementation ``` @[existing-similar-feature] @[relevant-types] Implement [feature name] following the pattern in [reference file]. Requirements: - [requirement 1] - [requirement 2] - [requirement 3] Constraints: - Same error handling pattern as [reference] - Same file structure as [reference] - Include TypeScript types for all public interfaces ``` ### Template: Bug Fix ``` @[buggy-file] @Lint Errors Bug: [describe the incorrect behavior] Expected: [describe co...
