SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the setup of foundation Cursor rules and commands within your project's .cursor/ directory, ensuring consistency and efficient workflow management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Rule & Command Setup: Installs foundation rules and commands into .cursor/.
  • Symlink or Copy Mode: Intelligently uses symlinks if foundation is a git submodule for automatic updates, or creates independent copies otherwise.
  • Peer Repository Sync: When run from the foundation repository itself, it propagates the setup to linked peer repositories.
  • Use Case: After cloning a project that uses a foundation repository as a submodule, run this command to instantly set up all necessary Cursor rules and commands, keeping your development environment synchronized.

Quick Start

Run the setup cursor copies command to synchronize your project's Cursor configuration with the foundation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync Cursor rules and commands across multiple development environments?

Sync Cursor rules and commands by automating foundation configuration setup within the `.cursor/` directory, using symlinks for git submodules or independent copies. This ensures consistent rule application across development environments.

What is the best way to set up Cursor rules after cloning a project with a foundation submodule?

Set up Cursor rules by running an automated setup command that intelligently creates symlinks for git submodules. This instantly installs foundation rules and commands into `.cursor/`, keeping your environment synchronized automatically.

Can I use symlinks to manage Cursor configuration files in a git submodule?

Yes, you can use symlinks to manage Cursor configuration if the foundation is a git submodule. This method enables automatic updates to rules and commands within the `.cursor/` directory without manual file replication.

How do I propagate Cursor configuration setup to peer repositories?

Propagate Cursor configuration to peer repositories by executing the setup command from within the foundation repository itself. This action automatically distributes and synchronizes foundation rules and commands across linked peer projects.

When should I use independent copies instead of symlinks for Cursor directory setup?

Use independent copies instead of symlinks for Cursor directory setup when the foundation repository is not integrated as a git submodule. This ensures rules and commands remain available without submodule linking, though updates require manual synchronization.
