Guidelines for writing clean, maintainable, and human-readable code. Apply these rules when writing or reviewing code to ensure consistency and quality.
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.
