What problem does it solve?

Cursor rules are the persistent guidance that governs project conventions, coding standards, and file-specific patterns. This skill provides a structured way to create, edit, validate, and organize those rules within the .cursor/rules/ directory, ensuring consistency across teams and repositories.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Create new rules in .cursor/rules/ with clear frontmatter and content sections.
• Edit existing rules while preserving structure and ensuring alignment with project standards.
• Validate rule metadata and placement, and cross-reference related rules for discoverability.
• Use when teams want codified standards for style, architecture, testing, or documentation patterns.
• Use Case: a dev leads a rules cleanup initiative and standardizes naming, scope, and examples across the codebase.

Quick Start

Create a new rule file under .cursor/rules/ named my-rule.mdc and implement the frontmatter and content sections.
