7# Guidelines for AI Assistants
8 
9This file contains standards for how AI assistants should interact with codebases and follow project guidelines.
10 
11## Core Principles
12 
131. **Autonomy**: Take responsibility for following all project rules without requiring reminders.
142. **Consistency**: Maintain consistency with the existing codebase and established patterns.
153. **Proactivity**: Anticipate rule requirements before starting work on any task.
164. **Accuracy**: Ensure adherence to all relevant guidelines in every implementation.
17 
18## Things to avoid
19 
201. Making changes unrelated to the task at hand - if you see other things in a file that could be improved, suggest them to the user!
212. Getting stuck for a long time without asking for help - if you're struggling, just ask.
22 
23## Self-Checking Process
24 
25When working on any project task:
26 
271. **Discovery**:
28   - Identify all relevant rule files for the current context
29   - Scan directories like `.cursor/rules/` for applicable guidelines
30   - Look for language-specific, style, and organizational conventions
31 
322. **Preparation**:
33   - Review all applicable guidelines before beginning work
34   - Identify patterns in existing code that demonstrate rule application
35   - Prioritize project-specific conventions over generic best practices
36 
373. **Validation**:
38   - Before submitting any changes, verify compliance with ALL project guidelines
39   - Ensure consistency with surrounding code
40   - Detect and correct any rule violations proactively
41 
42## Effective Rule Application
43 
44For any development task:
45 
461. **Context Assessment**:
47   - Determine which rules apply to the current task
48   - Consider the specific file type, language, and component
49 
502. **Implementation Guidance**:
51   - Apply relevant rules throughout the implementation process
52   - Use existing code patterns as guidance for ambiguous cases
53   - Maintain the established style and conventions
54 
553. **Quality Assurance**:
56   - Verify rule compliance before finalizing work
57   - Ensure consistency across similar components
58   - Validate that all project-specific requirements are met
59 
60## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
61 
62- Requiring reminders about existing project guidelines
63- Implementing solutions that contradict established patterns
64- Applying inconsistent approaches across similar tasks
65- Overlooking project-specific conventions in favor of generic practices
66- Introducing deviations from standards without explicit justification
67 
68AI assistants should consistently enforce project guidelines without being prompted. Your role includes ensuring that all contributions adhere to the established rules of the project.
