≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md 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.

Cursor↔Claude live-review bridge
A reviewer running in Cursor watches the executing agent (Claude, in the terminal) and steers it without interrupting the chat, via bridge files. This convention works in every repo (a user-scope hook activates it automatically).
- Bridge files are named
suggestions_*.md— e.g.plans/suggestions_NN_<slug>.mdbeside a plan, or a top-levelsuggestions_<topic>.md. The Cursor reviewer owns them (creates / rewrites / erases). The executor never deletes a reviewer's directives. - Claude polls the relevant
suggestions_*.mdbefore starting a task and after every task/checkbox. ## Open Directives(- [ ]) are binding. On conflict with the plan/spec body, the directive wins (the reviewer has fresher context).- Claude acknowledges under
## Claude Acknowledgements, ticking- [ ]→- [x]and referencing the code/tests that close each one. Blockers are surfaced there. - Automated — no manual nudge. A user-scope
Stophook (~/.claude/hooks/suggestions_watch.py, wired in~/.claude/settings.json) runs at the end of every turn: if asuggestions_*.mdchanged and still has unchecked directives, it blocks the stop and re-injects them. It baselines on first sight, guards against loops, and fails open. Hooks load at session start, so restart an in-flight session (or run/hooks) if the bridge does not fire. - When you are the Cursor reviewer: write
suggestions_*.mdwith a## Open Directiveslist of short, testable- [ ]items plus a## Claude Acknowledgementsheading, and reference the bridge file from the plan/spec.

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.
