Where files are headingNew Cursor rule files have more rules about planning and tracking tasks, and fewer about code style.
Of the Cursor rule files we read, the 4,183 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository252 other files it gives its agents.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,668 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

@State private var searchText = ""
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List(viewModel.filteredProducts) { product in

@MainActor
class ProductListViewModel: ObservableObject {
@Published var products: [Product] = []
@Published var filteredProducts: [Product] = []
@Published var isLoading = false
@Published var showFilterSheet = false
@Published var filters = ProductFilters()
private let productService = ProductService()
private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
func loadInitialProducts() async {
isLoading = true
defer { isLoading = false }
do {
products = try await productService.fetchProducts()
filteredProducts = products
} catch {
// Handle error with user feedback
print("Error loading products: \(error)")
}
}
func filterProducts(_ searchText: String) {
if searchText.isEmpty {
filteredProducts = products
} else {
filteredProducts = products.filter { product in
product.name.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains(searchText)
}
}
}
}
```
### Android Jetpack Compose Component
```kotlin
// Modern Jetpack Compose component with state management
@Composable
fun ProductListScreen(
viewModel: ProductListViewModel = hiltViewModel()
) {
val uiState by viewModel.uiState.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()

)
LazyColumn(
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
contentPadding = PaddingValues(16.dp),
verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp)
) {
items(
items = uiState.products,
key = { it.id }
) { product ->
ProductCard(
product = product,
onClick = { viewModel.selectProduct(product) },

)
}
if (uiState.isLoading) {
item {
Box(
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
contentAlignment = Alignment.Center
) {
CircularProgressIndicator()
}
}
}
}
}
}
// ViewModel with proper lifecycle management
@HiltViewModel
class ProductListViewModel @Inject constructor(
private val productRepository: ProductRepository
) : ViewModel() {
private val _uiState = MutableStateFlow(ProductListUiState())
val uiState: StateFlow<ProductListUiState> = _uiState.asStateFlow()
private val _searchQuery = MutableStateFlow("")
val searchQuery: StateFlow<String> = _searchQuery.asStateFlow()
init {
loadProducts()
observeSearchQuery()
}
private fun loadProducts() {
viewModelScope.launch {
_uiState.update { it.copy(isLoading = true) }
try {
val products = productRepository.getProducts()
_uiState.update {
it.copy(
products = products,
isLoading = false
)
}
} catch (exception: Exception) {

errorMessage = exception.message
)
}
}
}
}
fun updateSearchQuery(query: String) {
_searchQuery.value = query
}

searchQuery
.debounce(300)
.onEach { query ->
filterProducts(query)
}
.launchIn(viewModelScope)
}
}
