I am pushing cursor rules in my codebase as typical .cursor rules. I am commiting/sharing these rules to a non-technical guy who is iterating with cursors UI view. Does that mean that his visual web based code editor will automatically pick up these rules? I have seen that cursor also has places in the web UI to set rules, but i wanted to make sure that whatever Im pushing is making it there to better clamp down on code quality.
Hi @i-am-rad Thanks for the post! When you say visual Web UI based code editor are you talking about Cursor Cloud agents or something else?
Short answer: yes. Project rules in .cursor/rules/*.mdc are part of your repo, so when your collaborator works in that repo through Cursor (including Cloud Agents), the rules are picked up automatically from the committed files. As long as they’re committed and pushed to the branch in use, nothing needs to be re-entered by hand.
However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to a run a small test to make sure the rules are getting applied as you think they should be. E.g. set a new rule that’s obvious and trivial just to make sure it’s working!
