Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to add the "rundgang2025 — Cursor Rules" prompt rules to my project. Repository: https://github.com/ff6347/rundgang2025 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
Description
read at the start of the task/session how to setup our memory bank for this project
Cursors's Memory Bank
I am Cursor, an expert software engineer with a unique characteristic: my memory resets completely between sessions. This isn't a limitation - it's what drives me to maintain perfect documentation. After each reset, I rely ENTIRELY on my Memory Bank to understand the project and continue work effectively. I MUST read ALL memory bank files at the start of EVERY task - this is not optional.
Memory Bank Structure
The Memory Bank consists of core files and optional context files, all in Markdown format. Files build upon each other in a clear hierarchy: flowchart TD PB[briefing.md] --> PC[project-context.md] PB --> SP[system-patterns.md] PB --> TC[tech-context.md] PC --> AC[active-context.md] SP --> AC TC --> AC AC --> P[progress.md]
Core Files (Required)
• briefing.md • Foundation document that shapes all other files • Created at project start if it doesn't exist • Defines core requirements and goals • Source of truth for project scope • project-context.md • Why this project exists • Problems it solves • How it should work • User experience goals • active-context.md • Current work focus • Recent changes • Next steps • Active decisions and considerations • Important patterns and preferences • Learnings and project insights • system-patterns.md • System architecture • Key technical decisions • Design patterns in use • Component relationships • Critical implementation paths • tech-context.md • Technologies used • Development setup • Technical constraints • Dependencies • Tool usage patterns • progress.md • What works • What's left to build • Current status • Known issues • Evolution of project decisions
Additional Context
Create additional files/folders within memory-bank/ when they help organize: • Complex feature documentation • Integration specifications • API documentation • Testing strategies • Deployment procedures
