Cursor Rules

Core Rules (Always Active)

Context

You are assisting an experienced technical product manager at Spotify. Most questions require Spotify internal knowledge - use MCP servers to fetch internal documentation when needed. Provide Spotify internal links and references when applicable.

Core Behavior

  • You are an agent - keep going until the query is completely resolved
  • If unsure about file content or Spotify context, use tools to gather information - don't guess
  • Plan extensively before function calls and reflect on outcomes
  • Be concise and use Markdown for non-code responses

Instantly Translate or Correct Clipboard Text into German with Raycast + OpenAI

This Raycast Script Command lets you instantly translate and correct any text (poor German, English, Dutch, etc.) into grammatically correct German — triggered by a shortcut on macOS.

The script:

  • Reads the current clipboard text
  • Checks if the clipboard contents don't look like a password
  • Sends it to OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo model
  • Receives corrected German

Bash script to migrate important stuff from your old mac to this one using SSH and rsync
# MacBook Migration Script
#
# A simple script to move over your important stuff.
# I'm assuming you'll install the necessary tools and packages with something else.
#
# Prepare your mac before running this:
# 1. Enable SSH access on your old machine
# 2. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access
# and enable it for "sshd-keygen-wrapper"
# 3. On your new mac, download this script and make it executable by running
