Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report! You’re right, the Rules option was removed from the @ menu in recent versions of Cursor.

Workaround: you can still use your rules by adding the rules file directly to the context:

Type @ and reference your rule file (for example, @.cursor/rules/my-rule.mdc).
This will add the rule content to your chat context.

Alternatively, you can set the rule type to:

“Always Apply” - applies automatically to every chat
“Apply Intelligently” - Cursor decides when to apply it based on relevance
“Apply to Specific Files” - applies when matching files are referenced

You can change the rule type in Cursor Settings > Rules by editing your rule’s configuration.

Let me know if this helps.
