SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap a new project with Cursor-ready configuration: AGENTS.md, per-project .cursor/rules/project-conventions.mdc, and optional memory_bank/ scaffold. Use at project initialization, when starting a new repo, or when the user says "set up Cursor for this project".

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate AGENTS.md at project root with imperative learnings for this project.
  • Create or update .cursor/rules/project-conventions.mdc scoped to this project with stack facts, module boundaries, active patterns, anti-patterns, and validation commands.
  • Optionally scaffold memory_bank/ to store memory and documentation for the project.
  • Create the .cursor/plans/ directory to store SDLC artifacts.
  • Tailor configuration based on detected facts (stack, package managers, framework, etc.).

Quick Start

Run the /project-init command to bootstrap Cursor for this repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Cursor configuration for a new project?▼

To set up Cursor configuration for a new project, run the project initialization command to generate AGENTS.md, project conventions, and memory scaffolding tailored to your detected stack.

What files are needed to bootstrap a Cursor-ready repository?▼

Bootstrapping a Cursor-ready repository requires generating AGENTS.md at the root, a project-conventions.mdc rules file, and a plans directory to enable first-task execution.

How does project initialization detect my tech stack for Cursor rules?▼

Project initialization detects your tech stack to tailor Cursor configuration, adapting the generated AGENTS.md and project-conventions.mdc to recognized frameworks, package managers, and tooling.

Can I scaffold a memory bank structure when setting up Cursor?▼

Yes, you can optionally scaffold a memory_bank directory during project setup to store memory and documentation specifically for your Cursor project.

What is the best way to configure project-specific agents and rules in Cursor?▼

The best way to configure project-specific agents and rules is running a bootstrap command that validates and creates .cursor/config artifacts and AGENTS.md adapted to your repository.

When should I not use a project bootstrap command for Cursor setup?▼

Avoid using a project bootstrap command for Cursor setup on existing repositories if you already maintain custom .cursor/config artifacts and project conventions that you do not want overwritten.
