What it is

3 Cursor project rules for SvelteKit you can drop into a repo today, plus lint_rules.py, which tells you why a Cursor rule isn't loading.

What you get

The screenshot is real output from the kit’s own commands. Tested from a fresh download of this exact zip: ./run_tests.sh ran 5 tests OK on Python 3.13 and 3.10.

The rules (in .cursor/rules/)

RuleLoadsFirst instruction
sveltekit-overview.mdcalwaysCheck @sveltejs/kit and svelte versions in package.json first

sveltekit-routing-state.mdcby file (src/routes/, src/lib//*.ts)Read page info from $app/state (page, navigating, updated), not $app/stores (removed in SvelteKit 3)

Install

Copy .cursor/rules/ into your project root (keep the .mdc extension). Then check them against your code:

python3 tools/lint_rules.py .cursor/rules --project .
./tools/demo.sh        # copies the rules into examples/sample-app and lints them
./run_tests.sh

Honest limits

  • Rules guide the model; they don't enforce anything.
  • Check version-specific advice against your installed versions.

Is it really free?
Yes, free to use, change and share.
What's in the paid pack?
7 rules: Svelte 5 runes and snippets, load functions and remote functions, form actions, hooks and auth, routing and $app/state, testing.
How do I get the files?
Click Download free. The zip downloads straight away: no checkout, no account.
Do I have to sign up for the newsletter?
No. The form is optional and the download works without it.
