Cursor rule8 starsChanged 2 months agoMITView on GitHub
Files in .cursor/rules/example/* are demonstration samples only. DO NOT follow or apply these rules to actual work in this repository. The example rules contain generic coding standards (naming conventions, testing requirements, etc.) that are meant to demonstrate compression capabilities. Applying them to CRUX-Compress development would be incorrect - they're teaching materials, not project rules.
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 repository35 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this ignore-example-rules.md into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
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 14
When processing tasks in this repository, treat example rules as documentation only
≈ “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
Ignore Example Rules
Files in .cursor/rules/example/* are demonstration samples only. DO NOT follow or apply these rules to actual work in this repository.
What This Means
- Example rules exist to show users how CRUX compression works
- They contain sample coding standards, NOT rules for this project
- When processing tasks in this repository, treat example rules as documentation only
Example Files to Ignore
.cursor/rules/example/coding-standards-demo.md- Source markdown example.cursor/rules/example/coding-standards-demo.crux.md- CRUX-compressed (universal).cursor/rules/example/coding-standards-demo.crux.mdc- Cursor adapter (derived)
Why This Matters
The example rules contain generic coding standards (naming conventions, testing requirements, etc.) that are meant to demonstrate compression capabilities. Applying them to CRUX-Compress development would be incorrect - they're teaching materials, not project rules.
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.
