I want to add the "AnswerOverflow — Cursor Rules" prompt rules to my project.
Repository: https://github.com/AnswerOverflow/AnswerOverflow

Please read the repo to find the rules/prompt file, then:
1. Download it to the correct location (.cursorrules, .windsurfrules, .github/prompts/, or project root — based on the file type)
2. If there's an existing rules file, merge the new rules in rather than overwriting
3. Confirm what was added

Powering Discord content discovery by making web pages from threads for some of the largest servers, including Valorant, Cloudflare, C#, and Nuxt.

Prefer useEffectEvent for Effect Callbacks

When you need to call a function inside a useEffect that accesses props/state but shouldn't trigger the effect to re-run, use useEffectEvent instead of adding the function to the dependency array.

When to Use

Use useEffectEvent when: • You need to call a callback inside an effect • The callback accesses reactive values (props, state, other functions) • You don't want changes to those values to re-trigger the effect

❌ Avoid

`typescript const [count, setCount] = useState(0); const handleChange = useCallback(() => { console.log('Count is:', count); doSomething(); }, [count, doSomething]); useEffect(() => { if (someCondition) { handleChange(); } }, [someCondition, handleChange]); // handleChange in deps causes unnecessary re-runs `

✅ Prefer

`typescript const [count, setCount] = useState(0); const handleChange = useEffectEvent(() => { console.log('Count is:', count); doSomething(); }); useEffect(() => { if (someCondition) { handleChange(); } }, [someCondition]); // Only re-runs when someCondition changes `
