Vibe Coder Cursor Rules (.mdc)

Generate high-velocity, pragmatic vibe coding Cursor rules prioritizing fast feedback loops and flat structures. When building fast prototypes or MVP products, over-engineering and premature abstraction slow you down. This rule keeps the AI focused on immediate working software.

What this file changes for Pragmatic Rapid Prototyping

Without it

When building fast prototypes or MVP products, over-engineering and premature abstraction slow you down. This rule keeps the AI focused on immediate working software.

What the file tells the agent
Prioritize working software over complex design patterns or deep inheritance hierarchies.
Keep code flat, readable, and direct.
Minimize ceremony: avoid multi-file indirection for simple features.
Deliver fast working solutions that can be easily validated or deleted.
04 / REPOSITORY PLACEMENT & 3-STEP TERMINAL INSTALLATION

How to Install Pragmatic Rapid Prototyping Cursor Rules (.mdc) via Terminal

1

Step 1: Open Project Directory & Verify Target Placement

Open your terminal and navigate to your project root folder where the .cursor/rules/vibe-coder.mdc file will reside. Ensure the file is placed at the exact path below relative to your project root so the AI engine automatically loads it:

.cursor/rules/vibe-coder.mdc
2

Step 2: Fetch Rule File via Terminal Command

Run curl, PowerShell, or wget to stream the rule directly from the DevScratchpad raw API endpoint and write it to .cursor/rules/vibe-coder.mdc:

Terminal One-Liner Install

Run directly in your project root to stream and write this rule file with one command.

Raw API Stream
$mkdir -p ".cursor/rules" && curl -fsSL "https://www.devscratchpad.tech/api/raw/cursor-rules/vibe-coder" -o ".cursor/rules/vibe-coder.mdc"

Step 3: Check that Cursor uses it

Cursor picks up rules in .cursor/rules/ automatically. This one attaches when files matching its globs are in the request, or when you @-mention it.
