A curated collection of Cursor slash-command prompts that give your team reusable, version-controlled AI workflows directly inside the Cursor IDE.

🔗 Also check out Cursor Hooks - that runs after every file edit

Cursor Commands are reusable AI prompts saved as Markdown files in .cursor/commands/. When you type / in Cursor's chat input, the IDE lists every command from your project and your global library so you can insert the prompt instantly. They act like AI-driven shortcuts that automate repetitive tasks, reinforce team standards, and keep feedback consistent.

• 🚀 Quick access: Type / to surface every command without leaving your flow
• 🔄 Reusable: Standardize prompts for common tasks across the whole team
• 👥 Shareable: Store commands in git so they ship with your repository
• 🎯 Focused: Each command targets a specific workflow with clear structure
• 📝 Customizable: Edit or extend the Markdown files to match your processes

Commands can live in two places:

• Project commands: Store Markdown files in .cursor/commands inside your repository
• Global commands: Store personal commands in ~/.cursor/commands on your machine

Cursor automatically scans both directories when you type /, combines the results, and inserts the selected command into the chat ready to run.

1. Type / in Cursor's AI chat or agent input
2. Select from the available commands
3. Let the AI execute the prompt with the relevant project context

• Create a .cursor/commands directory in your project root
• Add .md files with descriptive names (for example, code-review.md, run-all-tests-and-fix.md)
• Write clear Markdown instructions describing what the command should accomplish
• Open Cursor, type /, and choose your new command to execute it immediately

Example structure:

.cursor/ └── commands/ ├── accessibility-audit.md ├── add-documentation.md ├── add-error-handling.md ├── address-github-pr-comments.md ├── code-review.md ├── create-pr.md ├── database-migration.md ├── debug-issue.md ├── fix-compile-errors.md ├── fix-git-issues.md ├── generate-api-docs.md ├── generate-pr-description.md ├── light-review-existing-diffs.md ├── lint-fix.md ├── lint-suite.md ├── onboard-new-developer.md ├── optimize-performance.md ├── refactor-code.md ├── run-all-tests-and-fix.md ├── security-audit.md ├── security-review.md ├── setup-new-feature.md └── write-unit-tests.md

1. Clone this repository or copy the .cursor/commands/ directory into your project
2. Open the project in Cursor IDE
3. Type / in the AI chat to browse available commands
4. Select a command and let Cursor execute the prompt with your code context

# Option 1: clone the repository git clone https://github.com/hamzafer/cursor-commands.git cd cursor-commands

# Option 2: copy commands into an existing project cp -r cursor-commands/.cursor /path/to/your/project/

Alternatively, create the directory manually:

1. Create .cursor/commands/ in your project root
2. Copy or author the Markdown command files you need

Use the existing files as templates or start from scratch:

touch .cursor/commands/my-custom-command.md

# My Custom Command Brief description of what this command does. ## Objective Detailed explanation of the task and expected outcome. ## Requirements - Specific requirements or constraints - Coding standards to follow - Expected formats or structures ## Output Description of what the AI should produce. Provide clear instructions for the AI to follow.

# Generate API Documentation Create comprehensive API documentation for the current code. Include: - Endpoint descriptions and HTTP methods - Request/response schemas with examples - Authentication requirements - Error codes and responses - Rate limiting information Format as OpenAPI/Swagger specification.

# Security Audit Perform a security audit of the current code. Check for: - SQL injection vulnerabilities - XSS attack vectors - Authentication and authorization issues - Input validation problems - Sensitive data exposure Provide specific remediation steps for each issue found.

• Be specific: Describe the expected outcome and acceptance criteria
• Provide context: Reference project conventions, architecture, or standards
• Set boundaries: Clarify scope, assumptions, and tooling limits
• Include examples: Show expected formats or responses when helpful
• Stay focused: Keep each command targeted to a single, clear objective
• Review together: Treat command changes like code changes and review in PRs
• Use descriptive names: Make filenames reflect the command's purpose

• Changelog – v1.6
• Docs – Custom Slash Commands
• Announcement Post 1
• Announcement Post 2

• Open an issue for feedback or requests
• Refer to this README for the command index that ships with the prompts
