The rules real projects give Cursor's agent, from .cursor/rules.
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.

Smithbox-aiCursor ruleSmithbox-ai/ControlFlow/.cursor/rules/controlflow-docs-evals.mdc
Rules for documentation parity, localized tutorials, and eval verification.
Instruction files for Cursor's agent, kept in .cursor/rules/ as .mdc files.
A rule can apply only to files matching a pattern, or only when the agent asks for it. AGENTS.md always applies.
Copy the .mdc file into your project's .cursor/rules/ directory and adjust its globs.
Open a rule to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
