Cursor Reference Architecture

Overview

Organize Cursor rules, ignore files, repository guidance, and workspace boundaries so AI assistance follows architecture rather than inventing it.

Prerequisites

• An approved repository architecture, ownership model, and data-classification policy.
• Maintainers authorized to review .cursor/rules, ignore files, and shared templates.

Instructions

1. Put durable engineering conventions in reviewed rules and keep sensitive/generated paths in ignore files.
2. Scope rules by repository area and avoid contradictory always-on instructions.
3. Test rule and indexing changes in a representative workspace before organization-wide rollout.
4. Review these files through normal pull requests with security and architecture owners when relevant.
