Cursor Review Rules

Four .cursorrules files that turn Cursor's chat into a focused code reviewer instead of a chatty assistant. Drop one into your repo root, open the diff, and ask Cursor to review.

What's inside

cursor-review-rules/
├── security.cursorrules
├── performance.cursorrules
├── tests.cursorrules
├── architecture.cursorrules
├── WORKFLOW.md           — when to use which preset
└── README.md

Each preset:

• Re-frames the assistant as a senior reviewer with a single concern (security / perf / tests / architecture).
• Forces a structured finding format: severity, file:line, why it matters, fix.
• Demands a one-line verdict at the end (ship / fix-before-ship / hold) — no hedging.
• Tells the model to skip irrelevant sections rather than padding.

How to use

# Drop the preset you want at repo root
cp cursor-review-rules/security.cursorrules .cursorrules

# Open the diff in Cursor and chat:
> Review the changes in this PR using the rules above.

Switch presets by replacing .cursorrules. Most people keep four files around as .cursorrules.security, .cursorrules.perf, etc., and cp the relevant one before each review pass.

Why a separate pack?

These rules are a port of the prpack Pro presets, which target generic LLM contexts. The Cursor flavor leans into Cursor's specific in-IDE rendering and uses inline file references that Cursor already resolves.

If you're using a CLI flow with Claude / GPT / etc., grab prpack instead. If you live in Cursor, this pack is shaped for you.
