# Standalone IDE Rules Generator
## Overview
The `generate-ide-rules` script is a standalone tool that can be used in any project to generate IDE-specific configurations. It downloads the necessary documentation and creates customized rules based on your project's structure.
## Installation
### One-line installation and usage:
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[your-repo]/generate-ide-rules.sh | bash -s -- --ide cursor
```
### Download and use:
```bash
# Download the script
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[your-repo]/generate-ide-rules.sh -o generate-ide-rules.sh
chmod +x generate-ide-rules.sh
# Run with options
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide cursor --include-workflows
```
## Usage Examples
### Basic Usage
```bash
# Generate Cursor rules for current project
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide cursor
# Generate VS Code rules with comprehensive analysis
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide vscode --depth comprehensive
```
### Advanced Usage
```bash
# Full-featured generation for Windsurf
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide windsurf \
--include-workflows \
--include-snippets \
--include-shortcuts \
--security-focus
# Enterprise team setup
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide jetbrains \
--team-size large \
--experience mixed \
--performance-focus
```
## Command Options
```
OPTIONS:
-i, --ide <name> Target IDE: cursor, windsurf, vscode, jetbrains, sublime, neovim, emacs
-p, --project <path> Project path to analyze (default: .)
-o, --output <path> Output directory (default: ./ide-rules)
-d, --depth <level> Analysis depth: basic, comprehensive, deep
--include-workflows Include workflow automations
--include-snippets Include code snippets
--include-shortcuts Include keyboard shortcuts
--security-focus Emphasize security patterns
--performance-focus Emphasize performance optimizations
--team-size <size> Team size: solo, small, medium, large
--experience <level> Team experience: junior, mixed, senior
--llm <mode> LLM mode: prompt, claude, openai
-h, --help Show help message
```
## How It Works
1. **Project Analysis**: Automatically detects your project type, technologies, and structure
2. **Documentation Download**: Pulls the latest IDE rules documentation from the repository
3. **Context Generation**: Creates a detailed prompt for LLM processing
4. **Rule Generation**: Generates IDE-specific configuration files
## Supported Project Types
- **Node.js** (React, Vue, TypeScript, JavaScript)
- **Python** (Django, Flask, FastAPI)
- **Java** (Spring Boot, Maven, Gradle)
- **Go** (Modules, CLI applications)
- **Rust** (Cargo projects)
- **Docker** (Containerized applications)
- **Multi-language** projects
## Output Structure
```
ide-rules/
├── README.md # Generated documentation
├── generate-prompt.txt # LLM prompt for rule generation
└── cursor-rules.md # Generated IDE rules (manual step)
```
## Workflow
1. **Run the script** with your preferred IDE and options
2. **Review the generated prompt** in `ide-rules/generate-prompt.txt`
3. **Copy to your LLM** (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)
4. **Save the output** as `[ide]-rules.md`
5. **Apply to your IDE** configuration
## IDE-Specific Instructions
### Cursor
1. Open Cursor settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,)
2. Navigate to 'Rules' section
3. Paste the generated rules
### VS Code
1. Copy settings from generated rules
2. Open settings.json (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P > 'Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)')
3. Merge with your existing settings
### JetBrains IDEs
1. Import the generated XML configurations
2. Apply the code style and inspection profiles
3. Configure live templates
### Windsurf
1. Copy the YAML configuration
2. Apply to your workspace settings
3. Enable AI pair programming features
## Integration with CI/CD
Add to your CI/CD pipeline:
```yaml
- name: Generate IDE Rules
run: |
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[your-repo]/generate-ide-rules.sh | bash -s -- --ide cursor
git add ide-rules/
git commit -m "Update IDE rules" || exit 0
```
## Team Usage
### Share Rules
```bash
# Generate rules and commit to repository
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide cursor --team-size medium
git add ide-rules/
git commit -m "Add team IDE configuration"
git push
```
### Update Rules
```bash
# Regenerate when project structure changes
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide cursor --include-workflows
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Script not found**: Ensure the GitHub URL is correct
2. **Permission denied**: Run `chmod +x generate-ide-rules.sh`
3. **Network issues**: Download script locally and run offline
4. **No rules generated**: Check project structure and IDE support
### Debug Mode
```bash
# Run with verbose output
bash -x ./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide cursor
```
## Environment Variables
Set these for customized behavior:
```bash
export IDE_RULES_OUTPUT_DIR="./custom-rules"
export IDE_RULES_DOCS_URL="https://your-custom-repo.com/docs"
export IDE_RULES_DEFAULT_IDE="cursor"
```
## API Integration (Coming Soon)
Future versions will support direct API integration:
```bash
# With Claude API
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide cursor --llm claude --api-key $CLAUDE_API_KEY
# With OpenAI API
./generate-ide-rules.sh --ide cursor --llm openai --api-key $OPENAI_API_KEY
```
## Contributing
To add support for new IDEs:
1. Create template in `./ide-rules/ide-specific/[new-ide]/`
2. Add IDE to the VALID_IDES list in the script
3. Add IDE-specific usage instructions
4. Test with various project types
