2. Very specific:

   If camera input: memory/camera_and_display.md, skills/hl-camera.md

   line 23
3. Very specific:

   If adding models: skills/hl-model-management.md

   line 24
4. Very specific:

   Use HailoInfer for inference (wraps VDevice + HEF loading)

   line 28
5. Very specific:

   Use get_standalone_parser() for CLI arguments

   line 29
6. Very specific:

   Use SHARED_VDEVICE_GROUP_ID for VDevice creation

   line 30
7. Very specific:

   Always resolve HEF paths with resolve_hef_path(path, app_name, arch)

   line 31

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,350 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.

• 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 3,978 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.
