How to add new cursor rules to the project
Always place rule files in PROJECT_ROOT/.cursor/rules/:
.cursor/rules/ ├── your-rule-name.mdc ├── another-rule.mdc └── ...Follow the naming convention:
- Use kebab-case for filenames
- Always use .mdc extension
- Make names descriptive of the rule's purpose
Directory structure:
PROJECT_ROOT/ ├── .cursor/ │ └── rules/ │ ├── your-rule-name.mdc │ └── ... └── ...Never place rule files:
- In the project root
- In subdirectories outside .cursor/rules
- In any other location
Cursor rules have the following structure:
---
description: Short description of the rule's purpose
globs: optional/path/pattern/**/*
alwaysApply: false
---
# Rule Title
Main content explaining the rule with markdown formatting.
