A comprehensive guide for integrating and managing VS Code extensions within the Cursor IDE environment. This resource details the transition from the Microsoft Marketplace to the Open VSX Registry, covering installation methods (in-app, VSIX, CLI), conflict resolution with advanced AI features (e.g., Copilot, TabNine), and best practices for ensuring optimal performance and recommended extension stacks for various languages like Python, JavaScript, and Go.

This tool integrates advanced AI capabilities into the entire Git lifecycle within the IDE. It assists developers by automatically generating standardized commit messages from staged diffs, providing deep code review using the @Git context (checking for vulnerabilities, missing handling), and offering systematic guidance for resolving complex merge conflicts. It streamlines version control and elevates code quality.

This is a hands-on walkthrough demonstrating the four core AI features of the Cursor IDE: Tab Completion, Chat, Inline Edit, and Composer. Users learn how to leverage AI for coding tasks, debugging, generating boilerplate code, and performing multi-file refactoring within a structured project environment. It's an essential guide for developers adopting AI-assisted coding workflows.

A comprehensive guide to diagnosing and resolving common codebase indexing issues in Cursor IDE. Covers problems like stuck indexing, empty search results (@Codebase), stale data, and performance bottlenecks in large monorepos. Includes steps for cache clearing, configuration management, and optimizing resource limits.

A comprehensive guide detailing the installation, setup, and authentication process for Cursor IDE across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It covers account sign-in, plan activation, and the seamless migration of settings and extensions from VS Code, ensuring a fully configured development environment.

A comprehensive guide to avoiding common pitfalls when using AI-powered IDEs like Cursor. It covers best practices for AI interaction, secure coding habits (handling secrets, credentials), project configuration (rules, ignore files), and performance optimization. Essential for maintaining high code quality and security in AI-assisted workflows.

A comprehensive guide detailing how to optimize the entire software development lifecycle within the Cursor IDE. It walks users through an AI-augmented loop covering planning (Chat), scaffolding (Composer), implementing (Tab), refining (Inline Edit), testing (Chat/Terminal), committing, and reviewing code using integrated AI and Git features. Designed for maximizing developer efficiency and code quality.

A comprehensive guide on configuring and selecting the optimal AI model within the Cursor IDE. It details the strengths of various providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) for specific coding tasks—from quick bug fixes to complex architecture planning—and guides users through model selection, API key setup (BYOK), and cost optimization strategies.

A comprehensive guide detailing how to efficiently manage large, complex codebases using Cursor's multi-root workspace features. Learn to set up monorepos, utilize selective indexing, and maintain cross-project context across multiple repositories, ensuring fast and accurate code understanding in massive projects.

A comprehensive guide designed to diagnose and optimize Cursor IDE performance. Learn advanced strategies for minimizing memory usage, speeding up indexing, tuning AI features, and managing large codebases to eliminate lag and maximize development efficiency.

A comprehensive reference guide for structuring development projects within the Cursor IDE. It details best practices for directory layout, defining layered rules (covering global conventions, security constraints, and technology-specific patterns like API routes and database access), and optimizing indexing strategies. This ensures maximum AI effectiveness, improves code maintainability, and streamlines the entire development workflow.

Manages and enforces project-specific coding standards and architectural conventions within the Cursor IDE. Developers can define rules using `.mdc` files, specifying required patterns (e.g., TypeScript strict mode, React component structure, API validation). This system guides the AI assistant by providing deep context, ensuring code consistency and adherence to best practices across the entire codebase.
