# Creating Cursor Rules Create project rules in `.cursor/rules/` to provide persistent context for the AI agent. ## CRITICAL: Check Existing First **Before creating ANY rule, verify:** 1. **Check for existing rules:** ```bash ls -la .cursor/rules/*.mdc 2>/dev/null cat .cursor/rules/*.mdc 2>/dev/null | head -100 ``` 2. **Check for conflicting conventions:** ```bash cat CONTRIBUTING.md .editorconfig .eslintrc* 2>/dev/null | head -50 ``` 3. **Check if similar rule exists:** - Don't duplicate existing rules - Consider extending existing rules instead **Why:** Rules should complement, not conflict with, existing project conventions. ## Gather Requirements Before creating a rule, determine: 1. **Purpose**: What should this rule enforce or teach? 2. **Scope**: Should it always apply, or only for specific files? 3. **File patterns**: If file-specific, which glob patterns? ### Inferring from Context If you have previous conversation context, infer rules from what was discussed.

If they mentioned specific files and haven't provided concrete patterns, ask: - "Which file patterns should this rule apply to?"
