curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TechNickAI/ai-coding-config/main/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash

Then run the setup command:

In Cursor IDE:

@ai-coding-config set up this project

With Cursor CLI:

cursor-agent "@ai-coding-config set up this project"

The command detects your project type and copies selected rules to your project.

For Both Tools

You can also use the /ai-coding-config command which works in both Claude Code and Cursor to interactively select and install configurations.

What You Get

Rules (.cursor/rules/) provide context for AI coding. They cover Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask), TypeScript (React, Next.js), testing patterns, commit message formats, and framework-specific patterns. The AI references these automatically based on file types.

Agents (in plugin bundles like plugins/code-review/agents/) are specialized AI assistants. Each handles specific tasks - code review, debugging, test writing, architecture audits. Read about Claude Code agents for how they work.

Personalities (.cursor/rules/personalities/) change how AI communicates. Pick methodical and precise, calm and encouraging, minimalist and direct, or other styles.

GitHub workflows (.github/workflows/) provide Claude-powered code review and automated PR fixing for CI/CD pipelines.

Available Plugins

Browse the plugins/ directory to see all available plugins, or use:

/plugin search ai-coding-config

Plugin categories include:

• Language & Framework - Python, React, Django setups with rules and patterns
• Workflow - Git standards, error tracking, code conventions
• Agents - Code review, development assistance, specialized AI helpers
• Personalities - Different communication styles (analytical, encouraging, minimalist, spiritual, etc.)

Using Personalities

Personalities change how AI communicates. Install and activate with:

/plugin install personality-samantha
/personality-change samantha

Browse available personalities in plugins/personalities/ or .cursor/rules/personalities/.

For Cursor: Reference via @personality-name or set alwaysApply: true in the rule file.

For Claude Code: Use /personality-change <name> to activate permanently.

Run /ai-coding-config in a project. It copies selected configurations. Run /ai-coding-config update later to sync changes.

Key principle: Single source of truth with plugin symlinks for easy packaging.

Updates

Run /ai-coding-config update in any project. The command shows what changed and lets you choose what to update. Project-specific customizations are preserved.

Documentation

The docs/ directory explains design decisions and how pieces work together:

coding-ecosystem.md compares Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and VS Code with strengths and trade-offs.

tools-and-configs.md explains rules (passive context) versus commands (active workflows).

personalities.md describes each AI personality option.

architecture-summary.md documents the system design.

Customization

Projects can override defaults. Use .local.json files (gitignored) for machine-specific settings. Fork this repo to make it completely yours.

For AI Assistants

If the user mentions ai-coding-config, check whether ~/.ai_coding_config exists. If it does, read configurations from there. If not, suggest running the bootstrap script. When @mentioned with ai-coding-config, read and execute .claude/commands/ai-coding-config.md.
