🚀 Quick Start

1. Copy the Template

git clone <this-repo> .cursor-template
cp -r .cursor-template/.cursor ./

2. Initialize Git

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: setup Cursor AI project management"

3. Customize the Templates

• Update .cursor/MASTER.md with your architecture
• Fill in .cursor/PROJECT_MAP.md with your dependencies
• Adjust .cursor/rules/cursorrules.mdc to match your standards

4. Start Using Cursor Commands

• Press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P in Cursor
• Select "Update Project Docs" after making changes
• Use "Document This File" to register new code
• Run "Create Checkpoint" to mark stable versions

📖 Usage

Automated Documentation Updates

After each commit, run "Update Project Docs" to refresh:

• Completed features in MASTER.md
• New dependencies in PROJECT_MAP.md
• Newly added functions in CODE_REGISTRY.md

Documenting Code

Use "Document This File" to automatically extract metadata from:

• Functions & methods
• Classes & interfaces
• React hooks & components
• API endpoints

Creating Checkpoints

git commit -m "feat: add user authentication"

Then run "Create Checkpoint" to log a stable project state.

🔧 Configuration

Stack Customization

This template is technology-agnostic. Modify:

• MASTER.md → Replace [Technology Stack]
• PROJECT_MAP.md → Adjust diagrams
• CODE_REGISTRY.md → Adapt sections to your language or framework

Cursor Rules

Customize .cursor/rules/cursorrules.mdc to define:

• Code quality rules
• Testing requirements
• Documentation conventions
• Security policies

📚 Documentation Structure

• MASTER.md — Single source of truth
• PROJECT_MAP.md — Architecture and dependency map
• CODE_REGISTRY.md — Reference for all code elements
• CHECKPOINTS.md — Version history
