AI rules and prompts

Boost your productivity with AI context rules for Neon. These rules help AI tools like Cursor understand Neon's features, leading to more accurate code suggestions and fewer common mistakes.

Available rules

• Neon Auth

  Stack Auth integration, database syncing, and authentication patterns

• Neon Serverless Driver

  Efficient queries, connection pooling, and serverless best practices

• Neon + Drizzle

  ORM setup, schema management, and usage patterns with Drizzle

• Neon API

  Use the Neon API to programmatically manage your resources

• Neon Toolkit

  Quickly spin up Postgres databases and run SQL queries with @neondatabase/toolkit

How it works

AI rules are .mdc files that specify which types of files they apply to (such as *.tsx or schema.sql). When you're working with a matching file, your AI tool automatically applies the relevant rules to provide better suggestions.

Example: AI rules in action

Here's a practical example using Cursor. A developer has implemented authentication in their server-rendered page and wants to confirm best practices:

Developer query: "Using the neon-auth.mdc rule, how do I secure a server-rendered page?"

The AI confirms that using stackServerApp.getUser({ or: "redirect" }) is the correct approach for server-side authentication, providing additional context and explanation.

Add rules to your project

Add these files to your project's .cursor/rules folder:

.cursor/
  rules/
    neon-auth.mdc
    neon-serverless.mdc
    neon-drizzle.mdc

Most AI tools will automatically apply these rules when you're working with Neon-related code. You can also reference them explicitly in prompts for more targeted assistance.
