How to use modal templates with Cursor
Pick a design
Choose a modal design above and open it to see it live.
Copy the template
Copy the template from its page. It is one HTML file with no dependencies.
Set up Cursor
Save the template in your project and add a project rule in .cursor/rules that tells Agent to follow it, then reference the file with @ in your prompt.
Prompt, then refine
Paste it and describe your product. Then follow up with: "@template.html Build this section as a component in our codebase. Match the template's spacing and type scale; reuse our existing Button."
What makes a good modal section
Common types: confirm dialogs, upgrade prompts, short forms and command palettes.
One task per modal
Confirm, choose or fill one short form.
Easy to close
A close button, the Escape key and a click outside.
Focus stays inside
Keyboard users can finish without getting lost.
Common mistake: Modals that open on page load and block reading.
Keeping the design in Cursor
Cursor is an AI code editor, so it suits developers who want to stay in their own files and review each change as Agent makes it.
What Cursor builds
Components in your project's framework, edited in place in your files.
Where the design goes
Save the template in your project and add a project rule in .cursor/rules that tells Agent to follow it, then reference the file with @ in your prompt.
Cursor and modal sections
Agent tends to swap custom values for framework defaults unless a rule tells it not to. Paste the template again with your follow-up prompt if it starts to drift.
What to tell it
Keep the modal size and layout, make Escape and the close button work, and keep focus inside the modal.
