🚀 Getting Started

1. Use this template

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Cursor-Template.git your-project
   cd your-project

2. Set up Python environment

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # or `venv\Scripts\activate` on Windows
   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Configure environment

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your API keys and configurations

🛠️ Maintenance Scripts

  ./scripts/daily/check_dependencies.py

Weekly Checks

• scripts/weekly/code_quality_check.py: Analyzes code quality

  ./scripts/weekly/code_quality_check.py

Monthly Checks

• scripts/monthly/security_audit.py: Performs security audits

  ./scripts/monthly/security_audit.py

Quarterly Checks

• scripts/quarterly/performance_analysis.py: Analyzes system performance

  ./scripts/quarterly/performance_analysis.py

📋 Development Guidelines

Test-Driven Development

This template follows TDD practices:
