How to change the agentkit-rules pack, installer, and examples.

  • Where files are headingNew Cursor rule files have more rules about planning and tracking tasks, and fewer about code style.

    Of the Cursor rule files we read, the 4,144 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.

  • In this repository4 other files it gives its agents.

The file

We split this kit.mdc into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  • could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
  1. Very specific:

    Do not hand-edit files under examples/.

    line 11
  2. Very specific:

    Run npm run validate and npm test before committing.

    line 12

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,668 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

# agentkit-rules

- Installable rules live in `rules/<stack>/*.mdc` and `rules/<stack>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`. Register every file in `rules/index.json`.
- Cursor frontmatter uses only `description`, `globs`, and `alwaysApply`. `globs` is one comma-separated string. `alwaysApply: true` omits `globs`.
- Skill frontmatter uses only `name` and `description`. `name` matches the directory, is lowercase, and does not contain `claude` or `anthropic`.
- Do not hand-edit files under `examples/`. Run `npm run examples` after a rule change.
- Run `npm run validate` and `npm test` before committing.
- The installer is the source of AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot files, Windsurf rules, and Devin rules. Do not fork a second copy of a rule body.

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.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
