Frequently Asked Questions about create-rule

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create AI coding standards for specific file types?▼

You can establish coding standards by creating structured rules in the `.cursor/rules/` directory using Markdown with YAML frontmatter. This allows you to define AI guidance and apply it specifically to targeted file types using globs.

What are .cursor rules and how do they guide AI agents?▼

.cursor rules are Markdown files with YAML frontmatter that establish project-wide coding conventions for AI agents. They guide the AI by using file globs for targeted application and a boolean flag to enforce rules across all sessions.

Can I configure AI project rules to apply automatically across all sessions?▼

Yes, you can configure rules to apply automatically across all sessions by setting the `alwaysApply` boolean flag to true in the YAML frontmatter. This enforces your project conventions universally throughout the environment.

How do I set up project conventions for AI coding assistants?▼

You set up project conventions by creating `.mdc` rule files inside the `.cursor/rules/` directory. Within these files, you define the description and scope using YAML frontmatter to ensure the AI assistant adheres to your established patterns.

Does the create-rule skill support targeting specific file patterns like TypeScript?▼

Yes, the skill supports targeting specific file patterns like TypeScript by configuring file globs in the YAML frontmatter. You can create a rule that applies its coding standards exclusively to files matching patterns like `**/*.ts`.
