Archive finished specs; strip review junk before starting a spec
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 4,183 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 repository16 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this roslyn-mcp-docs-lifecycle.mdc into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “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: Archive finished specs; strip review junk before starting a spec alwaysApply: true --- # Docs spec lifecycle Index: [`docs/README.md`](docs/README.md). Canon vs process: `_archive/` inside the topic; closed series without contract → `docs/archive/`. ## Starting a spec Before implementing or editing `docs/<topic>/`: - Look next to the canon for leftover **process**: `review/`, `review-response/`, `arbitration/`, or pre-arb epoch copies with the same names as the live spec. - If any sit on the live shelf, **propose** moving them to `<topic>/_archive/` first. Do not treat review as the spec. Do not move silently. ## Closing a series When every epoch is accepted/shipped **and** UNRESOLVED / U-ARB gates for that series are closed or explicitly skipped, **remind** the user to archive: - Still cited from ARCHITECTURE / product README as live contract → keep in `docs/`; archive only process. - History only (no remaining contract) → `docs/archive/<topic>/` and update the tables in `docs/README.md`. Do not delete accepted/rejected review. Do not rewrite specs “to match reality” after ship — copy facts into ARCHITECTURE / README and mark the design shipped.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
