The file

We split this common-patterns.md into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈4

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    When implementing new functionality:

    line 9
  2. Distinctive:

    Search for battle-tested skeleton projects

    line 10
  3. Distinctive:

    Use parallel agents to evaluate options:

    line 11
  4. Distinctive:

    Use a consistent envelope for all API responses:

    line 31

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Common Patterns

Skeleton Projects

When implementing new functionality:

  1. Search for battle-tested skeleton projects
  2. Use parallel agents to evaluate options:
    • Security assessment
    • Extensibility analysis
    • Relevance scoring
    • Implementation planning
  3. Clone best match as foundation
  4. Iterate within proven structure

Design Patterns

Repository Pattern

Encapsulate data access behind a consistent interface:

  • Define standard operations: findAll, findById, create, update, delete
  • Concrete implementations handle storage details (database, API, file, etc.)
  • Business logic depends on the abstract interface, not the storage mechanism
  • Enables easy swapping of data sources and simplifies testing with mocks

API Response Format

Use a consistent envelope for all API responses:

  • Include a success/status indicator
  • Include the data payload (nullable on error)
  • Include an error message field (nullable on success)
  • Include metadata for paginated responses (total, page, limit)

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
