Going to try to centralize all my prompts in a single place and create some scripts to help convert from copilot to cursor, etc.
I don't want to be tied to a specific IDE and it's a pain to have to edit instructions for various languages across a ton of different files.
Additionally, it becomes challenging to copy these prompts into various projects and contribute them back to a single location.
Some of the glob assumptions in this repo are specific to how I've chosen to organize python and typescript in the python starter template and what tooling (fastapi, etc) that I've chosen to use.
You can run the llm-ide-rules CLI tool using uvx:
uvx llm-ide-rulesOr install from the repository:
uv tool install git+https://github.com/iloveitaly/llm-ide-rules.gitgit clone https://github.com/iloveitaly/llm-ide-rules.git
cd llm-ide-rules
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activateThe llm-ide-rules CLI provides commands to manage LLM IDE prompts and rules:
# Convert instruction file to separate rule files
uvx llm-ide-rules explode [input_file]
# Bundle rule files back into a single instruction file
uvx llm-ide-rules implode cursor [output_file] # Bundle Cursor rules
uvx llm-ide-rules implode github [output_file] # Bundle GitHub/Copilot instructions
# Download instruction files from repositories
uvx llm-ide-rules download [instruction_types] # Download everything by default
uvx llm-ide-rules download cursor github # Download specific types
uvx llm-ide-rules download --repo other/repo # Download from different repo
# Explode instructions.md into .cursor/rules/ and .github/instructions/
uvx llm-ide-rules explode instructions.md
# Bundle Cursor rules back into a single file
uvx llm-ide-rules implode cursor bundled-instructions.md
# Bundle GitHub instructions with verbose logging
uvx llm-ide-rules implode github --verbose instructions.md
# Download everything from default repository
uvx llm-ide-rules download
# Download only specific instruction types
uvx llm-ide-rules download cursor github
# Download from a different repository
uvx llm-ide-rules download --repo other-user/other-repo --target ./my-projectThe CLI replaces the old standalone scripts. Use the CLI commands in your development workflow:
# Setup the environment
uv sync
# Explode instructions into separate rule files
uvx llm-ide-rules explode
# Bundle rules back into instructions
uvx llm-ide-rules implode cursor instructions.md# Build the package
uv build
# Run tests
pytestThe idea of this repo is you'll copy prompts into your various projects. Then, if you improve a prompt in a project, you can pull that change into this upstream repo.
Here's how to do it:
git diff .github/instructions | pbcopy
pbpaste | gpatch -p1gpatch is an updated version of patch on macOS that seems to work much better for me.
