What Cursor Rules Generator does
Cursor Rules Generator, published at CursorRules, is a free web resource for browsing, validating and migrating rule files for the Cursor AI code editor. It is aimed at developers who want starter rule text for specific languages, frameworks and tools. The site offers a rule library organised by category, including Backend, Frontend Frameworks, Mobile, Testing and DevOps. A validator checks supported .mdc formatting, and a converter moves legacy .cursorrules instructions into a plain AGENTS.md file. Both tools process pasted text in the browser without uploading it to a server or AI model. Tutorials explain how to write rules. The library and tools are free to use, with an optional donation link.
