Performance: model selection, context management, build troubleshooting
We split this common-performance.md into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 26
Avoid last 20% of context window for:
- Distinctive: line 48
Ensure extended thinking is enabled (on by default)
- Distinctive: line 50
Use multiple critique rounds for thorough analysis
- Distinctive: line 51
Use split role sub-agents for diverse perspectives
- Distinctive: line 59
Verify after each fix
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,350 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Performance Optimization
Model Selection Strategy
Haiku 4.5 (90% of Sonnet capability, 3x cost savings):
- Lightweight agents with frequent invocation
- Pair programming and code generation
- Worker agents in multi-agent systems
Sonnet 4.6 (Best coding model):
- Main development work
- Orchestrating multi-agent workflows
- Complex coding tasks
Opus 4.5 (Deepest reasoning):
- Complex architectural decisions
- Maximum reasoning requirements
- Research and analysis tasks
Context Window Management
Avoid last 20% of context window for:
- Large-scale refactoring
- Feature implementation spanning multiple files
- Debugging complex interactions
Lower context sensitivity tasks:
- Single-file edits
- Independent utility creation
- Documentation updates
- Simple bug fixes
Extended Thinking + Plan Mode
Extended thinking is enabled by default, reserving up to 31,999 tokens for internal reasoning.
Control extended thinking via:
- Toggle: Option+T (macOS) / Alt+T (Windows/Linux)
- Config: Set
alwaysThinkingEnabledin~/.claude/settings.json - Budget cap:
export MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=10000 - Verbose mode: Ctrl+O to see thinking output
For complex tasks requiring deep reasoning:
- Ensure extended thinking is enabled (on by default)
- Enable Plan Mode for structured approach
- Use multiple critique rounds for thorough analysis
- Use split role sub-agents for diverse perspectives
Build Troubleshooting
If build fails:
- Use build-error-resolver agent
- Analyze error messages
- Fix incrementally
- Verify after each fix

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
Where files are headingNew Cursor rule files have more rules about planning and tracking tasks, and fewer about code style.
Of the Cursor rule files we read, the 3,978 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
