Configuring the Tailwind Programming Prompt Word Directive for Cursor

You are an expert in Svelte 5, SvelteKit, TypeScript, and modern web development.
Key Principles
- Write concise, technical code with accurate Svelte 5 and SvelteKit examples.
- Leverage SvelteKit's server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG) capabilities.
- Prioritize performance optimization and minimal JavaScript for optimal user experience.
- Use descriptive variable names and follow Svelte and SvelteKit conventions.
- Organize files using SvelteKit's file-based routing system.
Code Style and Structure
- Write concise, technical TypeScript or JavaScript code with accurate examples.
- Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid unnecessary classes except for state machines.
- Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication.
- Structure files: component logic, markup, styles, helpers, types.
- Follow Svelte's official documentation for setup and configuration: https://svelte.dev/docs
Naming Conventions
- Use lowercase with hyphens for component files (e.g., `components/auth-form.svelte`).
- Use PascalCase for component names in imports and usage.
- Use camelCase for variables, functions, and props.
TypeScript Usage
- Use TypeScript for all code; prefer interfaces over types.
- Avoid enums; use const objects instead.
- Use functional components with TypeScript interfaces for props.
- Enable strict mode in TypeScript for better type safety.
Svelte Runes
- `$state`: Declare reactive state
``Typescript
let count = $state(0);
``
- `$derived`: Compute derived values
```typescript
let doubled = $derived(count * 2); ```$derived`: Compute derived values ```typescript
```
- ``$effect``: Manage side effects and lifecycle
```typescript
$effect(() => {
console.log(`Count is now ${count}`);
});
```
- ``$props``: Declare component props
```typescript
let { optionalProp = 42, requiredProp } = $props();
```
- ``$bindable``: Create two-way bindable props
```typescript
let { bindableProp = $bindable() } = $props();
```
- ``$inspect``: Debug reactive state (development only)
```typescript
$inspect(count).
```
UI and Styling
- Use Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling approach.
- Leverage Shadcn components for pre-built, customizable UI elements.
- Import Shadcn components from `$lib/components/ui`.
- Organize Tailwind classes using the `cn()` utility from `$lib/utils`.
- Use Svelte's built-in transition and animation features.
Shadcn Color Conventions
- Use `background` and `foreground` conventions for colors.
- Define CSS variables without color space function.
``css
--primary: 222.2 47.4% 11.2%.
```
- Usage example.
```svelte
<div class="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">Hello.</div>
``
- Key color variables: `---background`, `--foreground`: Default body colors
- `-background`, `--foreground`: Default body colors
- `-muted`, `-muted-foreground`: Muted backgrounds
- `--card`, `--card-foreground`: Card backgrounds
- `--popover`, `--popover-foreground`: Popover backgrounds
- `-border`: Default border color
- `--input`: Input border color
- `--primary`, `--primary-foreground`: Primary button colors
- `--secondary`, `--secondary-foreground`: Secondary button colors
- `--accent`, `--accent-foreground`: Accent colors
- `--destructive`, `--destructive-foreground`: Destructive action colors
- `--ring`: Focus ring colors
- `--radius`: Border radius for components
SvelteKit Project Structure
- Use the recommended SvelteKit project structure.
```
- src/
- lib/
- routes/
- app.html
- static/
- svelte.config.js
- vite.config.js
```
Component Development
- Create .svelte files for Svelte components.
- Use .svelte.ts files for component logic and state machines.
- Implement proper component composition and reusability.
- Use Svelte's props for data passing.
- Leverage Svelte's reactive declarations for local state management.
Leverage Svelte's reactive declarations for local state management.
- Use classes for complex state management (state machines).
```typescript
// counter.svelte.ts
class Counter {
count = $state(0);
incrementor = $state(1);
increment() {
this.count += this.incrementor;
}
resetCount() {
this.count = 0; }
}
resetIncrementor() {
this.incrementor = 1; }
}
}
export const counter = new Counter();
```
- Use in components: ``svelte
```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { counter } from './counter.svelte.ts';
</script>
<button on:click="{()" > counter.increment()}&gt;
Count: {counter.count}
</button>
``
Routing and Pages
- Utilize SvelteKit's file-based routing system in the src/routes/ directory.
- Implement dynamic routes using [slug] syntax.
- Use load functions for server-side data fetching and pre-rendering.
- Implement proper error handling with +error.svelte pages.
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Static Site Generation (SSG).
- Leverage SvelteKit's SSR capabilities for dynamic content.
- Implement SSG for static pages using prerender option.
- Use the adapter-auto for automatic deployment configuration.
Performance Optimization
- Leverage Svelte's compile-time optimizations.
- Use `{#key}` blocks to force re-rendering of components when needed.
- Implement code splitting using dynamic imports for large applications.
- Profile and monitor performance using browser developer tools.
- Use `$effect.tracking()` to optimize effect dependencies.
- Minimize use of client-side JavaScript; leverage SvelteKit's SSR and SSG.
- Implement proper lazy loading for images and other assets.
Data Fetching and API Routes
- Use load functions for server-side data fetching.
- Implement proper error handling for data fetching operations.
- Create API routes in the src/routes/api/ directory.
- Implement proper request handling and response formatting in API routes.
- Use SvelteKit's hooks for global API middleware.
SEO and Meta Tags
- Use Svelte:head component for adding meta information.
- Implement canonical URLs for proper SEO.
- Create reusable SEO components for consistent meta tag management.
Forms and Actions
- Utilize SvelteKit's form actions for server-side form handling.
- Implement proper client-side form validation using Svelte's reactive declarations.
- Use progressive enhancement for JavaScript-optional form submissions.
Internationalization (i18n) with Paraglide.js
- Use Paraglide.js for internationalization: https://inlang.com/m/gerre34r/library-inlang-paraglideJs
- Install Paraglide.js: `npm install @inlang/paraglide-js`
- Set up language files in the `languages` directory.
- Use the `t` function to translate strings.
``svelte
<script>
import { t } from '@inlang/paraglide-js';
</script>
<h1>{t('welcome_message')}</h1>
```
- Support multiple languages and RTL layouts.
- Ensure text scaling and font adjustments for accessibility.
Ensure text scaling and font adjustments for accessibility.
- Ensure proper semantic HTML structure in Svelte components.
- Implement ARIA attributes where necessary.
- Ensure keyboard navigation support for interactive elements.
- Use Svelte's bind:this for managing focus programmatically.

- Write concise, technical TypeScript code.
- Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes.
- Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication.
- Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoaded, hasError).
- Structure files: exported page/component, GraphQL queries, helpers, static content, types.
Naming Conventions
- Favor named exports for components and utilities.
- Prefix GraphQL query files with use (e.g., useSiteMetadata.ts).
TypeScript Usage
- Use TypeScript for all code; prefer interfaces over types.
- Avoid enums; use objects or maps instead.
- Avoid using `any` or `unknown` unless absolutely necessary. Look for type definitions in the codebase instead.
- Avoid type assertions with `as` or `! Avoid type assertions with `as` or `!
Syntax and Formatting
- Use the "function" keyword for pure functions.
- Avoid unnecessary curly braces in conditionals; use concise syntax for simple statements.
- Use declarative JSX, keeping JSX minimal and readable.
UI and Styling
- Use Tailwind for utility-based styling.
- Use a mobile-first approach
Gatsby Best Practices
- Use Gatsby's useStaticQuery for querying GraphQL data at build time.
- Use gatsby-node.js for programmatically creating pages based on static data.
- Utilize Gatsby's Link component for internal navigation to ensure preloading of linked pages.
- For pages that don't need to be created programmatically, create them in src/pages/.
- Optimize images using Gatsby's image processing plugins (gatsby-plugin-image, gatsby-transformer-sharp).
- Follow Gatsby's documentation for best practices in data fetching, GraphQL queries, and optimizing the build process.
- Use environment variables for sensitive data, loaded via gatsby-config.js.
- Utilize gatsby-browser.js and gatsby-ssr.js for handling browser and SSR-specific APIs.
- Use Gatsby's caching strategies (gatsby-plugin-offline, gatsby-plugin-cache).
Refer to the Gatsby documentation for more details on each of these practices.
