How to use AI Goodpractice

1. Check you have what it needs: An AI-enabled IDE such as Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Code; A project folder or repo to apply the setup to; Access to an AI model; the guide's author uses a mix of Claude, ChatGPT and Grok through Cursor.
2. Open xop01/ai_goodpractice on GitHub and read the README and license.
3. Open the target repo in your AI-enabled IDE, such as Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Code.
4. Get the path or URL of a reference folder whose code style you want to copy.
5. Prompt the AI: analyze the code style from the reference folder in depth and apply it as a rule for this repo.
6. Review the rule the AI writes, and refine the prompt if the result is vague.

These steps come from our top use case, Set coding style rules for a repo from existing code, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
