The Complete Nuxt Cursor Rules

The full rule set in all three formats Cursor understands — copy the one your project uses. Project Rules (.mdc) load per-file via globs, AGENTS.md is portable across AI tools, and .cursorrules is the legacy single-file format.

Replacing a legacy file? Read the guide to migrate .cursorrules to Cursor Project Rules (.mdc) before copying this template into your project.
