Do not commit company folder paths, local paths, or personal/identifying information
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 4,157 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.
In this repository14 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this no-sensitive-paths.mdc into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Use generic placeholders: ~/.kube/config, $HOME/.kube/config, /path/to/kubeconfig, <your-profile>.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,668 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.

--- description: Do not commit company folder paths, local paths, or personal/identifying information alwaysApply: true --- # No Sensitive Paths or PII in Repo ## Never Commit - **Company or project-specific folder paths** (e.g. `~/Desktop/kubekube/`, `~/company/`, internal drive paths). - **Real kubeconfig paths** that reveal machine layout or org structure — use placeholders like `~/.kube/config` or `/path/to/your/kubeconfig` in examples. - **Personal data**: real names, emails, internal hostnames, IPs, account IDs in examples or configs. - **`.claudesec.yml`** in the repo — it is gitignored; users copy from `templates/*.example.yml` and fill in local paths locally only. ## In Code and Docs - Use generic placeholders: `~/.kube/config`, `$HOME/.kube/config`, `/path/to/kubeconfig`, `<your-profile>`. - Example configs and README snippets must not contain real company names, real paths, or identifying strings.

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.
