What this file tells the agent
This .cursorignore keeps Go (Golang) & Fiber build output, large data files and environment secrets out of Cursor's index and AI features, so context goes to your source code. It is best effort: commands the agent runs in the terminal can still read ignored files, so keep real secrets out of the repo too.
- Check every `if err != nil` explicitly; never swallow errors or ignore returned values.
- Propagate `c.Context()` into all database and outgoing HTTP requests.
- Keep handlers clean: parse inputs with `c.BodyParser`, delegate to domain service, return JSON.
- Avoid package-level global variables; inject database connections via struct receivers.
Install it in one command

The file goes at .cursorignore, relative to the root.
- 02
Download the file
Run the command on the right. It downloads this preset and writes the file.

Make sure it gets used
Cursor applies .cursorignore automatically. Matching files leave the index and AI features, but commands the agent runs in the terminal can still read them.
$ curl -fsSL "https://www.devscratchpad.tech/api/raw/cursorignore/go-fiber" -o ".cursorignore"

Questions
- How is .cursorignore different from .gitignore?
- .gitignore decides what git tracks. .cursorignore keeps files out of Cursor's codebase index and AI features; Cursor already skips files in .gitignore when it indexes.
- Does .cursorignore reduce wasted context?
- Yes. Ignored files are not indexed or pulled into requests, so build output and large data files do not crowd out your source code.
