# Cursor Rules

> Project, user, and team rules that the Cursor SDK and Agent load — `.cursor/rules/*.mdc`, `AGENTS.md`, and the legacy `.cursorrules`. Use when authoring rules that the SDK will pick up via `local.settingSources`, or when writing rule frontmatter with the right type (always / auto-attached / agent-requested / manual).

## About

# cursor-rules

Rules are how you bake context into a project so every Agent run starts with the right instructions. The SDK reads them through `local.settingSources` — see [[../cursor-sdk/references/local-options]].

## When to use

- Adding repo-level coding conventions an SDK agent should follow
- Writing per-folder `AGENTS.md` for nested context
- Migrating from `.cursorrules` to `.cursor/rules/*.mdc`
- Choosing between always-on, auto-attached, agent-requested, and manual rules

## File locations

- [[references/file-locations]] — `.cursor/rules/`, `AGENTS.md`, legacy `.cursorrules`
- [[references/scope-and-precedence]] — team / project / user, hierarchy

## Authoring `.mdc` rules

- [[references/mdc-frontmatter]] — `description`, `globs`, `alwaysApply`
- [[references/rule-types]] — Always / Auto-attached / Agent-requested / Manual
- [[references/glob-patterns]] — `**/*.tsx`, comma-separated lists

## `AGENTS.md`

- [[references/agents-md]] — markdown-only, nested per directory
- [[references/agents-md-vs-rules]] — when to pick which

## SDK integration

- [[references/sdk-integration]] — `settingSources` and what loads where
- [[references/limitations]] — Tab and Inline Edit don't read rules
