We split this 20_codegen_boundaries.mdc into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

• ≈0

2. Very specific:

   When adding features, prefer adding new modules under src/agentex/lib/ rather than changing generated files directly.

   If a change to generated code is required, document the reason and ensure the generator configuration or upstream schema is updated to make …

≈ “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.
