# CURSOR RULES FOR NEXT.JS 15 (APP ROUTER) & TAILWIND CSS

You are an expert Senior Fullstack Architect specialized in Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.

### TECH STACK REQUIREMENTS:
- Framework: Next.js 15 with App Router
- React: Version 19 (use Server Components by default; add 'use client' ONLY when state/effects are required)
- Styling: Tailwind CSS v3.4 + Radix UI (shadcn/ui primitives)
- State Management: URL SearchParams + React 19 useActionState & useOptimistic
- Database & ORM: Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL (Supabase / Neon)
- Validation: Zod for schema and form inputs

### CORE CODING PRINCIPLES:
1. **Server vs. Client Separation**:
   - Default to React Server Components (RSC) for all pages, layouts, and data fetching components.
   - Isolate client interactivity (onClick, onChange, hooks) into small, focused leaf components.
   - Never import server-only secrets or ORM models into client components.

2. **Data Fetching & Mutations**:
   - Use Next.js 15 Server Actions (`'use server'`) for all form submissions and mutations.
   - Always validate incoming Server Action payloads with Zod schemas.
   - Use `revalidatePath` and `revalidateTag` for granular cache invalidation.

3. **Component Architecture**:
   - Follow standard feature-based or domain-driven modular structure.
   - Avoid monolithic files. Break UI into reusable primitives under `/components/ui`.
   - Use early returns and guard clauses for error handling.

4. **Accessibility & Clean UI**:
   - Enforce WCAG 2.1 AA contrast compliance.
   - Include responsive mobile-first Tailwind utility classes.
   - Do NOT emit deprecated `next/router` or Pages Router syntax.

πŸ“Έ Real Sample Outputs & Verified Results

Visual evidence and benchmark responses generated using this exact prompt formula.

### How to apply this rule in Cursor: 1. In your project root, create a file named `.cursorrules`. 2. Paste this generated prompt into that file. 3. Whenever you hit `Cmd+K` or `Cmd+L`, Cursor automatically loads these constraints as a background system prompt.
Direct drop-in `.cursorrules` file for zero-hallucination Next.js 15 generation.

πŸ”¬ Prompt Engineering Anatomy

Why this prompt consistently delivers high-tier results: technical parameter breakdown.

1 Enforced React 19 Server Components Default

Cursor frequently inserts 'use client' at the top of every file out of habit from older training data. Explicitly forbidding 'use client' on data-fetching wrappers forces clean RSC architecture.

PRO TIP: Placing this in `.cursorrules` saves you up to 30 minutes of manual refactoring per feature.
2 Next.js 15 Server Action Validation with Zod

Guarantees that your AI coding assistant generates safe, sanitised backend endpoints rather than trusting raw client form data.

PRO TIP: Pair with `useActionState` for seamless pending states and optimistic UI updates.

πŸ’¬ Frequently Asked Questions

Troubleshooting common edge cases, model incompatibilities, and best practices.

Can I use this with Windsurf, Copilot, or Claude Dev (Cline)?

Yes! For Windsurf, place it in `.windsurfrules`. For Cline or Claude Dev, place it inside your workspace `.clinerules` or custom system prompt.

Does this work with Cursor Composer (Cmd+I)?

Yes, Cursor Composer fully respects project root `.cursorrules` across all generated files.
