Cursor Rules Template Download

This feature provides a ready-to-use Cursor workspace rules template as a downloadable ZIP file. It helps teams bootstrap new repositories with Pacing standards in minutes rather than rebuilding rule structure from scratch.

What It Provides​

  • Direct download: Download cursor workspace rules template
  • Ready folder structure: Unzips to .cursorrules-EDITABLE
  • Starter rule set for:
    • MCP configuration
    • Rules overview
    • Style guidance
    • Documentation guidance

Use it as a baseline, then customise it for the specific repository.

How It Works​

The ZIP is generated automatically during the docs build process and published to a stable URL:

This keeps the link stable while allowing the template contents to evolve over time.

Usage​

For Internal Team​

  1. Open the Cursor Workspace Setup Prompt.
  2. Download the template from:
  3. Unzip the archive.
  4. Copy .cursorrules-EDITABLE into the new repository.
  5. Rename or adapt it as needed, for example by converting to Project Rules in .cursor/rules/.

For New Repositories​

Use this template alongside:

  • The Cursor New Workspace prompt
  • The Cursor Workspace Setup prompt
  • The Setup New Repo feature

This gives you:

  • Consistent language and tone
  • Correct documentation MCP usage patterns
  • A predictable starting point for workspace rules

Implementation Notes​

  • The downloadable archive is rebuilt during docs prebuild, not maintained manually.
  • Temporary build folders are generated at build time and are not part of the long-term docs surface.
  • If template source files are missing, the build fails fast to avoid shipping an empty or stale archive.
  • Maintainer reference: archive generation is handled by the docs prebuild tooling.
