Coding Assistants Integration

AI Agents for code generation embed more and more capabilities for customization and context addition.

Packmind can synchronize your best practices in your local Git workspaces.

These tools' features evolve frequently, so we will adapt our integrations to provide the best experience for their latest capabilities.

Generate Coding Assistant Instruction Files

Instruction files are markdown files that can be generated within each Packmind space.

• Go into the Practices menu of your space

• Click on Coding Assistant

• Pick your coding assistant and generate your first instruction file.

Note that the first generation process can take a few minutes; check regularly.

Once the generation is ready, you can download the file.

A new generation can be run at any time, for instance, if you've added new practices.

Note that files are currently generated in the space's scope.

GitHub Copilot

The file downloaded from Packmind is called copilot-instructions.md and should be placed inside the root folder .github of your IDE workspace.

GitHub Copilot will automatically pick up this .github/copilot-instructions.md file during your conversations with the agent.

Cursor

The archive downloaded from Packmind is a .zip and should be extracted into a folder called .cursor/rules at the root of your project.

Cursor will automatically scan the .cursor/rules directory on startup (and whenever you rerun it) and load every rule file it finds there.
