Overview

Cursor’s AI features can accelerate Elata app development. This guide covers project rules setup and key workflows for building with the protocol and SDK.

​
Setup

  1. Install Cursor from cursor.sh
  2. Open your Elata project
  3. Create .cursor/rules.md with the template below

​
Cursor Rules Template

Create .cursor/rules.md in your project root:

​
Key Workflows

​
Scaffold and Extend

Start with a scaffold, then use Cursor to extend:
Open in Cursor and ask it to add features on top of the scaffold.

​
SDK Integration Patterns

When asking Cursor to integrate the SDK, reference the specific entry points:
  • rPPG: createRppgSession({ video, backend: "auto", faceMesh: "off" })
  • EEG: initEegWasm() then band_powers(samples, sampleRate)
  • BLE: new BleTransport({ deviceOptions: { athenaDecoderFactory } })

​
Contract Interaction

Ask Cursor to generate contract interaction code by providing the contract name and method:
  • Read bonding curve state: AppBondingCurve.getReserves()
  • Check app status: AppRegistry.getApp(appId)
  • Join tournament: Tournament.join(entryFee)

​
Tips

Add the Elata SDK docs and protocol docs as documentation sources in Cursor’s settings. This improves code generation quality for SDK-specific patterns.
