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

  1. Extract from docs, repos, PDFs, or codebases
  2. Convert to Claude-compatible format
  3. Copy .cursorrules to your project
  4. 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

  1. Use real code - GitHub repos give better examples than docs alone
  2. Keep rules updated - Re-scrape when framework changes
  3. Combine sources - Merge docs + repo rules for comprehensive knowledge
  4. Project-specific - Add your own .cursorrules on top
  5. Version control - Commit .cursorrules to repo

Results

  • ✅ Better code completion
  • ✅ Framework-aware suggestions
  • ✅ Pattern recognition from real code
  • ✅ Best practice reminders
