Concise Surgical Diffs
Prevent models from re-writing 500 lines of boilerplate when editing a 3-line function. Cut output token costs in half.
FREE DEVELOPER TOOL
Standardize your AI pair programming rules in seconds. Generate battle-tested instructions that enforce strict type safety, surgical diffs, and test-first verification while saving up to 30% on token waste.
.cursorrules# You are an expert AI software engineer pair programming on this codebase. ## Code Style & Architecture - Framework: Next.js App Router (TypeScript, Tailwind CSS). - Design: Server Components by default; add 'use client' only when hooks/interactivity are needed. - Type Safety: Zero tolerance for untyped `any` or ignored lint warnings. ## Interaction & Token Efficiency Rules - Keep responses concise and focused directly on the code solution. - Provide targeted surgical edits rather than re-printing unchanged files. - Do not write unnecessary apologies or preamble. ## Quality & Testing - Verify all logic against unit/integration tests before finalizing changes. - Proactively identify edge cases, error conditions, and concurrency risks. ## Newton's Gateway Settings (Recommended for Lower Latency & Caching) # In Cursor Settings > Models > Custom OpenAI Base URL: # Base URL: https://newtons.dev/api/v1 # Recommended Model: claude-3-7-sonnet-thought or deepseek-reasoner
