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, rea). 27 routing categories including whole-codebase analysis via repomix-pack, LLM/AI app dev, reverse-engineering/binary analysis via REA + ida-pro-mcp, live DAP debugging (debug-skill), an optional opt-in scientific-skills library (K-Dense, bio/chem/med), 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.

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

About cursor rules

What are cursor rules?

Instruction files for Cursor's agent, kept in .cursor/rules/ as .mdc files.

How are they different from AGENTS.md?

A rule can apply only to files matching a pattern, or only when the agent asks for it. AGENTS.md always applies.

How do I use one?

Copy the .mdc file into your project's .cursor/rules/ directory and adjust its globs.

Which ones worked?

Open a rule to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
