.cursor/rules in child directories?

Discussion
1

My product has two separate repositories: one for our mobile app and one for our server.

apps/
    mobile/
    server/

Sometimes I like to use Cursor from the parent apps/ directory, when I’m asking it to make a change that spans both code bases. At other times I like to use Cursor within one of the child app directories (mobile/ or server/).

Does this mean I have to define .cursor/rules at both the apps/ directory level and in the mobile/ and server/ directories, and have to update both versions when I want to make a change>?

Does Cursor find .cursor/rules definitions defined in child directories? If so, I could define .cursor/rules in just the child directories and be confident that Cursor would pick them up.

Thanks for your help.

Hey, I think you can do it. At least, it works for me.

I tested this out and it does not find .cursor/rules directories in child directories. So yes, you would have to include duplicates for that to work.

I do think this would be a good feature to add
