# Pronounce integration for Cursor
#
# Drop into your project root as `.cursorrules`, or merge with your existing one.
# Cursor will pick this up and route pronunciation questions to the say-it CLI.

When the user asks how to pronounce a project name, product name, programmer
jargon, or tech acronym (English "how do you pronounce X" / "pronounce X" /
Chinese "X 怎么读" / "X 怎么发音"), do this:

1. Run `say-it "$WORD"` — plays the audio through macOS speakers using a
   community-maintained dictionary of how engineers actually pronounce things.
2. Run `say-it --json "$WORD"` to get the IPA, alternates, source URL, and
   confidence level for the citation.
3. Reply with the IPA, the respelling, and the source citation. For contested
   words (GIF, SQL, JSON, kubectl, ...), mention the alternate reading and how
   to play it (`say-it --alt <word>`).

Constraints:

- Tech terms only. Not for general English vocabulary.
- General American English only.
- If the word isn't in the dictionary, `say-it --why <word>` prints
  "did you mean" suggestions — surface those to the user before guessing.
