Fadi88Cursor rule

one-man-startup / rules

Fadi88/one-man-startup/.cursor/rules/agent-reviewer.mdc

An independent second reader for both documents and code - reviews specs, designs, contracts and tickets for gaps and contradictions before they are handed on, and every developer diff for correctness, simplicity and fit to its ticket before it goes to QA. Writes findings and never changes what it reviews, and suggests adding agents to the team when the project or its requirements have grown past the team setup chose. Use on every spec, design and diff before the next hand-off.

moclam1905Cursor rule

CocktailRecipes / tool-rules

moclam1905/CocktailRecipes/.cursor/rules/tool-rules/git-commit-push-agent.mdc

This rule governs the process of committing and pushing changes to git repositories. It should be applied whenever: (1) The user indicates they want to commit or push changes, (2) The user asks about git commit conventions, (3) The user wants to update or save their work to git, or (4) Any git-related commit and push operations are requested. The rule ensures consistent commit message formatting, proper change documentation, and maintainable git history. It's particularly important for maintaining clear project history, facilitating code reviews, and ensuring proper documentation of changes. This rule helps maintain high-quality commit messages that explain both what changed and why, making it easier for both humans and AI to understand the project's evolution.

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.
