Cursor issues we find in Tailwind CSS projects
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation patterns when building Tailwind CSS apps.
Exposed API keys in client code
Cursor often places sensitive keys and secrets directly in client-side components or .env files without the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix distinction, making them accessible in the browser.
Missing input validation on API routes
Server actions and API routes generated by Cursor frequently accept user input without sanitization or schema validation, opening the door to injection attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Cursor wraps code in try/catch inconsistently. Failed API calls, database queries, and file operations often crash the app silently or show raw error messages to users.
Race conditions in state management
Multiple rapid state updates or concurrent API calls cause stale data, UI flickers, and inconsistent behavior — especially in forms and real-time features.
Tailwind CSS issues we check for
Common Tailwind CSS problems that affect production readiness.
Inconsistent spacing and sizing
AI tools use arbitrary values (px-[17px]) instead of Tailwind's spacing scale, creating visual inconsistency across the app.
Missing responsive breakpoints
Components designed for desktop only. Mobile layouts break or are unusable because responsive classes weren't added.
Oversized CSS bundle
Unused classes not purged, custom CSS duplicating Tailwind utilities, and unnecessary safelist entries bloating the stylesheet.
No design tokens in config
Colors, fonts, and spacing hardcoded in classes instead of defined in tailwind.config. Changes require find-and-replace across the entire codebase.
