Cursor Custom Prompts

Overview

Create reusable prompts that encode approved engineering practice without injecting secrets, bypassing repository controls, or replacing human review.

Prerequisites

• A defined task class, source-of-truth repository rules, and a maintainer for prompt changes.
• A non-sensitive evaluation fixture and review path for any shared prompt.

Instructions

1. State the scope, inputs, constraints, acceptance checks, and explicit non-goals.
2. Keep prompts free of credentials, customer data, and contradictory instructions; reference reviewed rules rather than duplicating them.
3. Evaluate the prompt against a fixture, inspect the diff/output, and version shared prompts through normal review.
4. Retire or revise prompts that produce policy, quality, or security regressions.
