Give Cursor Complete Framework Knowledge
The Problem
Cursor doesn’t know your framework’s API by default. You get generic suggestions that don’t leverage framework-specific patterns and best practices.
The Solution
Convert any source into .cursorrules with Skill Seekers v3.0.0:
# From documentation
skill-seekers scrape --target claude --config react.json
cp output/react-claude/.cursorrules ./
# From GitHub repo
skill-seekers scrape --target claude --github https://github.com/facebook/react
cp output/react-claude/.cursorrules ./
# From local codebase
skill-seekers analyze --directory ./my-project --target claude
cp output/my-project-claude/.cursorrules ./
How It Works
- Extract from docs, repos, PDFs, or codebases
- Convert to Claude-compatible format
- Copy
.cursorrulesto your project - Enjoy framework-aware AI suggestions

Real Example: React from GitHub
Before (Generic Suggestions)
// Cursor suggests generic function
function handleClick() {
// Generic suggestion...
}
After (React-Aware from Real Code)
// Cursor knows React patterns from the actual React repo
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0); // Suggests useState
useEffect(() => { // Suggests useEffect for side effects
document.title = `Count: ${count}`;
return () => { // Suggests cleanup
document.title = 'My App';
};
}, [count]);
return (
<button onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}> // Knows callback pattern
Count: {count}
</button>
);
}
Quick Start
# 1. Install Skill Seekers
pip install skill-seekers
# 2. Extract from any source
skill-seekers scrape --target claude --config configs/react.json
# OR from GitHub
skill-seekers scrape --target claude --github https://github.com/owner/repo
# OR from local code
skill-seekers analyze --directory ./my-project --target claude
# 3. Copy rules file
cp output/*-claude/.cursorrules ./
# 4. Restart Cursor
# Your AI now knows the framework!
Creating Custom Configs
For sources without presets:
{
"name": "my-framework",
"url": "https://docs.myframework.com",
"target": "claude",
"selectors": {
"content": "article.main-content",
"title": "h1",
"code": "pre code"
}
}
Then:
skill-seekers scrape --config my-framework.json --target claude
Tips for Best Results
- Use real code - GitHub repos give better examples than docs alone
- Keep rules updated - Re-scrape when framework changes
- Combine sources - Merge docs + repo rules for comprehensive knowledge
- Project-specific - Add your own
.cursorruleson top - Version control - Commit
.cursorrulesto repo
Results
- ✅ Better code completion
- ✅ Framework-aware suggestions
- ✅ Pattern recognition from real code
- ✅ Best practice reminders
