Over the past year, AI coding tools have exploded.
Developers are using:
- Cursor
- Claude Code
- GitHub Copilot
- Windsurf
- Cline
- Continue
- Roo Code
But I kept running into the same problem:
The best prompts, rules, agents, and workflows were scattered everywhere.
Some were hidden in:
- random GitHub repos
- README files
- Discord screenshots
- gists
- Twitter threads
- dotfiles
There was no central place to discover or compare them.
So I built:
A searchable directory of AI coding presets, prompts, rules, skills, and agents.
What’s Included
The site currently indexes 1300+ presets across different tools and workflows.
Examples include:
- Cursor rules
- Claude Code agents
- Copilot instructions
- Cline workflows
- MCP integrations
- React/Next.js setups
- Testing and PR review prompts
- Architecture and planning workflows
You can browse by:
- Tool
- Language
- Framework
- Category
- Use case
Why This Matters
Most people are still underusing AI coding tools.
The real productivity gains usually come from:
- structured prompts
- reusable workflows
- custom agents
- project-specific rules
- context engineering
Not just “write me a function”.
A good preset can completely change how an AI assistant behaves.
For example:
- enforcing architecture patterns
- improving code reviews
- generating better commits
- reducing hallucinations
- keeping consistent coding styles
Interesting Pattern I Noticed
After collecting hundreds of presets, some patterns became obvious.
The most effective setups usually:
- give the AI a clear role
- define constraints aggressively
- provide project structure context
- enforce output formatting
- include examples
The difference between a vague prompt and a production-ready workflow is massive.
The Goal
I wanted presets.dev to work more like:
- “Awesome Lists” meets search engine
- but focused specifically on AI coding workflows
Instead of hunting through repositories manually.
What’s Next
Some things I’m exploring:
- ratings and community voting
- better preset discovery
- import/export support
- workflow collections
- trending presets
- AI-generated preset recommendations
Would Love Feedback
I’m especially interested in:
- how people structure their AI coding workflows
- what tools you’re using
- what kinds of presets are actually useful in production
If you have favorite setups, workflows, or prompts, I’d love to see them.
