What does the Prisma Cursor rules template include?

It includes 4 rule sections covering schema design, query patterns, migrations and other Prisma development conventions.

Yes. You can combine Prisma with related templates such as TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Docker, or backend frameworks when your project uses multiple technologies.

The Complete Prisma 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.
