Cursor rules for SwiftUI
SwiftUI rules encode your state-management approach (@State, @Observable, environment), your view-decomposition style, and your concurrency conventions with async/await and actors. They keep Cursor generating idiomatic declarative views instead of UIKit-flavored patterns.
Every .cursorrules and .mdc file below targets SwiftUIand is quality-scored from automated signals — freshness, schema completeness, and review activity — not star counts you can game. Each listing carries its real GitHub author and SPDX license, so you know exactly what you're pasting into your repo and under what terms. That's the difference between this and an awesome-cursor-rules link dump: here a stale or broken SwiftUI rule sinks to the bottom instead of sitting at the top because someone starred it in 2024.

How to install a SwiftUI .mdc rule
1. Pick a rule above
Open the highest quality-scored SwiftUI listing and read the preview — make sure its conventions match your stack before you copy it.
2. Choose a location
Project-wide rules go in .cursorrules at your repo root. Scoped rules go in .cursor/rules/swiftui.mdc and attach to file globs.
3. Paste and scope it
Drop the contents in. For a .mdc file, set the frontmatter globs (e.g. globs: "**/*.ts") so Cursor auto-attaches it only for SwiftUI files.
4. Reload Cursor
Reload the Cursor window so the rule is loaded, then confirm it appears under Settings → Rules in your active context.
# Project-wide rule
cp swiftui.cursorrules ./.cursorrules
# Or a scoped .mdc rule (auto-attaches by glob):
mkdir -p .cursor/rules
cat > .cursor/rules/swiftui.mdc <<'EOF'

description: SwiftUI project conventions
globs: "**/*"
alwaysApply: false

# ...paste the rule body here...
EOFSwiftUI Cursor rules — frequently asked
What's the best Cursor rule for SwiftUI?
The best SwiftUI Cursor rule is the one that encodes your project's conventions — not a generic one-size-fits-all file. On RuleSell, SwiftUI rules are ranked by quality score (freshness, schema completeness, and review signals), so the top of this page is a defensible starting point. Open the highest-scored listing, then trim it to match your stack.
Where do SwiftUI .cursorrules files go?
Put a project-wide rule in a .cursorrules file at your repo root. For scoped rules, create .cursor/rules/swiftui.mdc and attach it to the relevant file globs (for example **/*.ts) so Cursor only loads it when you're editing matching SwiftUI files. Commit both to git so your whole team gets the same context.
Do these SwiftUI rules work in Windsurf or Claude Code too?
Often, yes. A plain-markdown SwiftUI rule frequently works as-is in Windsurf (rename to .windsurfrules) and as project context for Claude Code (paste into CLAUDE.md). RuleSell dual-tags listings that are verified compatible across environments.
Are these SwiftUI Cursor rules free?
Yes — every listing is free to download during beta. Each SwiftUI rule keeps its original GitHub author attribution and SPDX license, so you always know the provenance. Paid publishing with creator payouts opens after beta.
