How to add new cursor rules to the project

1. Always place rule files in PROJECT_ROOT/.cursor/rules/:

   .cursor/rules/
   ├── your-rule-name.mdc
   ├── another-rule.mdc
   └── ...
   

2. Follow the naming convention:

   • Use kebab-case for filenames
   • Always use .mdc extension
   • Make names descriptive of the rule's purpose

3. Directory structure:

   PROJECT_ROOT/
   ├── .cursor/
   │   └── rules/
   │       ├── your-rule-name.mdc
   │       └── ...
   └── ...
   

4. Never place rule files:

   • In the project root
   • In subdirectories outside .cursor/rules
   • In any other location

5. 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.
