Usage

Once connected, Cursor’s AI features (Chat, Composer, and inline edits) can access your brand guidelines. This is useful for:
  • Generating styles and design tokens that match your brand
  • Writing front-end components using your exact color and typography values
  • Getting brand-consistent copy suggestions directly in your editor
In Cursor’s chat or Composer, ask questions like:
  • “Use our brand guidelines to create a Tailwind config with our color palette.”
  • “What typography scale does our brand use? Set up the CSS.”
  • “Build a header component following our brand guidelines.”
