Cursorrules Generation
.cursorrules file generation skill
Generates the .cursorrules file that governs AI agent behavior in generated projects.
Process
- Review the task requirements.
- Apply the skill's methodology.
- Validate the output against the defined criteria.
Step 1: Load Template
Load the cursorrules template from:
{directories.templates}/factory/cursorrules-template.md
Step 2: Replace Variables
Replace all template variables with project values:
| Variable | Source |
|---|
{PROJECT_NAME} | config.project_name |
{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION} | config.project_description |
{PRIMARY_LANGUAGE} | config.primary_language |
{STYLE_GUIDE} | config.style_guide |
{DOMAIN} | config.domain |
{GENERATED_DATE} | Current date |
Step 3: Generate Agent List
Create agent table from configured agents:
| Agent | Purpose |
|-||
| `code-reviewer` | Reviews code quality |
| `test-generator` | Creates test cases |
Step 4: Generate Skill List
Create skill table from configured skills:
| Skill | Description |
|-|-|
| `bugfix-workflow` | Ticket-based bug fixes |
| `feature-workflow` | Spec-based features |
Step 5: Generate MCP Section
Create MCP server configuration:
| Server | Purpose | URL |
|--||--|
| `atlassian` | Jira/Confluence | https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse |
Step 6: Write File
Write to target location:
- Path:
{TARGET}/.cursorrules
- Encoding: UTF-8
Output
Complete .cursorrules file with:
- Project Context section
- Configuration Variables
- Available Agents table
- Available Skills table
- MCP Server Integration
- Autonomous Behavior Rules
- Response Behavior Guidelines
Important Rules
- Use
{directories.XXX} path variables — NEVER hardcode directory paths in generated .cursorrules files. Always use configured path variables (e.g. {directories.skills}, {directories.agents}, {directories.config}). See {directories.config}/settings.json for the full mapping.
- Complete variables - Replace ALL placeholders
- Valid markdown - Ensure proper formatting
- Working tables - Tables must render correctly
- Accurate lists - List actual configured items
Fallback Procedures
- If template not found: Use embedded default template
- If variable undefined: Use empty or default value
