How to Customize Cursor Rules for Maximum AI Coding Accuracy
AI Summary
Summary of Video Transcript
- Introduction to Kite’s New Feature:
- Kite has introduced a new feature that improves AI-generated code, especially with unfamiliar libraries or APIs.
- Kite is an IDE based on VS Code with AI-powered features to speed up software development.
- Existing Feature: Do Kite Rules:
- A file can be created with rules and placed in the project root for Kite to use when generating code.
- Rules can include project-specific context, like using a different package manager.
- However, this feature has limitations:
- The single file can become cluttered and consume too much context space.
- There’s no way to specify when certain rules should be applied.
- New Feature: Project Rules:
- Kite now allows multiple rule files for different scenarios.
- Each file can have YAML front matter with a description and Globs to specify when rules should be applied.
- The Convex team has created a rules file with guidelines for high-quality Convex code.
- The URL to the Convex rules file is provided in the video description.
- How to Use Project Rules:
- Method 1: Manually add rules via Kite’s settings under the general tab and project rule section.
- Method 2: Place a pre-made rules file in the Do Kite Rules directory.
- The AI will automatically use the appropriate rules file based on the context.
- Advantages of Project Rules:
- Allows for scenario-specific files, preventing context space issues.
- Enables separate rules for different types of code, like normal TypeScript vs. test TypeScript.
- Further Learning:
- For more on YAML and the development of the rules file, viewers are directed to another video.
- Conclusion:
- The video ends with an encouragement to explore the topic further and a sign-off.
