Frequently Asked Questions
What are Fast Coding Skills?
Fast Coding Skills are curated, production-tested markdown (.md) documents containing architectural rules, subagent system instructions, cheat sheets, and coding frameworks. You can download and drop them directly into AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot to enforce zero-slop, battle-tested code generation.
How do I use these downloaded markdown files with Cursor?
After downloading the .md file, you can either rename it to `.cursorrules` in your project root or place it inside your `.cursor/rules/` directory (for modern Cursor versions). Cursor will automatically inject these instructions into every prompt and coding session.
How do I use them with Claude Code or Claude Projects?
For Claude Code, save the file as `CLAUDE.md` in your repository root. For Claude Projects in the web app, simply upload the downloaded `.md` file into the Project Knowledge section. Claude will adhere to all specified architectural patterns and constraints.
Are Fast Coding Skills free to download?
Yes, 100% free with no sign-up or credit card required. You can download any skill as a standalone markdown (.md) file or copy the raw markdown text directly into your project.
Can I customize the downloaded markdown skills for my team?
Absolutely. All skills are provided in clean, standard GitHub-flavored markdown. You are encouraged to modify rule sets, add internal API conventions, and tailor the prompts to match your company's coding guidelines.
