RagnarPitla/microsoft-agent-skills-private-archive/.cursor/rules/ground-agents-in-work-context.mdc

Choose the right grounding layer for an agent across the Microsoft IQ stack - Work IQ, Fabric IQ, Foundry IQ, Web IQ. Use when an agent can see someone's email, calendar and Teams messages but not the approval rules or business entities it needs, when deciding between workplace signals and an ontology over business data, when someone maps a conceptual \"Business IQ\" or \"Work IQ\" onto Microsoft's products and gets the opposite of what they expected, when an agent needs GL accounts, vendors or authorisation thresholds rather than documents, or when an unattended background agent is being designed on top of Work IQ.

AgentMaster / rules

Surya8991/AgentMaster/.cursor/rules/agent-master.mdc

Meta-orchestrator that classifies tasks and routes to the right combination of installed skills across caveman (output compression), superpowers (dev workflow), anthropic-skills (business/domain expertise), and wired tactical libraries (wshobson, davila7, impeccable, anthropic-official). 26 routing categories including whole-codebase analysis via repomix-pack, LLM/AI app dev, a live task dashboard, meta skill discovery, and curated tactical skill libraries (wshobson, davila7) for backend/security/CI-CD/database depth. Also scaffolds the canonical project-doc spine (README/AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/PROJECTLOG.md) in new projects via `/agent-master scaffold`. Invoke with /agent-master. Use as default entry point for ambiguous or multi-domain requests.

adammatthewsteinbergerCursor rule

claudeloop / rules

adammatthewsteinberger/claudeloop/.cursor/rules/claudeloop-agent-sdk.mdc

Explains how claudeloop integrates with claude-agent-sdk (ClaudeAgentOptions, ClaudeSDKClient vs query(), RateLimitEvent, ResultMessage, AssistantMessage, session discovery via list_sessions()) and the never-block-on-a-human design (permission_mode, can_use_tool, AskUserQuestion handling, hooks). Use this whenever building or modifying src/claudeloop/infrastructure/agent/ (the M2+ agent gateway, options builder, message translation, session catalog, capacity probe), whenever the user asks about the Claude Agent SDK, ClaudeAgentOptions fields, session resumption, rate-limit events, or why a run might block on a human. Make sure to consult this before writing any code that calls claude_agent_sdk directly — infrastructure/agent/ is the ONLY place that import is allowed, per the onion architecture (see the claudeloop-architecture skill), and getting the never-block guarantees wrong here defeats the entire purpose of this project.
