Building Better .NET Worker Services with Cursor Rules
🚀 Recently, I started building my own Cursor rule set for creating .NET Core Background Worker projects.
The goal is simple:
Teach AI to generate not just “working code”, but production-ready architecture from the start.
Now, every new Worker Service automatically includes:
✅ Clean Architecture
✅ BackgroundService pattern
✅ Serilog logging
✅ Docker support
✅ HealthChecks
✅ IOptions pattern
✅ Graceful shutdown
✅ Retry policies with Polly
One rule that made a huge difference 👇
