IDE Setup

ZeroStarter ships .vscode/ config so your editor lints and formats with the same Oxc toolchain the CLI and git hooks use: one Rust tool in place of ESLint and Prettier, fast enough to run on every save.

VS Code

Open the repo and VS Code recommends one extension, from .vscode/extensions.json:

{
  "recommendations": ["oxc.oxc-vscode"]
}

Install the Oxc extension and it lints (Oxlint) and formats (Oxfmt) inline. .vscode/settings.json makes it the default formatter and runs it on save:

{
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
  "editor.formatOnSave": true
}

The extension reads the project's root config, so the editor and the CLI can never disagree:

• .oxlintrc.jsonc: lint rules.
• .oxfmtrc.jsonc: formatting: no semicolons, sorted imports, Tailwind class sorting. It ignores .agents/**, so the AI skill docs are left untouched.

Cursor

Cursor reads the same .vscode/ config, so the extension and format-on-save work with no extra setup.

From the terminal

No editor integration required. The same checks run from the shell, and again on commit:

bun run format        # format the tree with Oxfmt
bun run format:check  # check formatting without writing
bun run lint          # lint the tree with Oxlint
