Cursor rule1 starsChanged 12 months agoMITView on GitHub
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 4,183 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 repository40 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this always.mdc into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 10
if any particular file in the code base exceeds 800 lines of code...
- Distinctive: line 15
check your MCP tool lists, you seem to forget you have a lot of tools
- Distinctive: line 18

≈ “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.
Files
--- description: globs: alwaysApply: true --- 1. include in the final line(s) on every response the the user * the current timestamp * list the tools used during the call 2. if any particular file in the code base exceeds 800 lines of code... * begin asking the user if they would like to refactor the code to keep the file sizes smaller * become more insistant with every 100 lines added thereafter * become very insistant on refactoring once a file has hit 1000 lines 3. check your MCP tool lists, you seem to forget you have a lot of tools 4.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
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.
