In what file on the filesystem are "Rules for AI" stored?

I’d like my global “Rules for AI” to be tracked in my dotfiles so they will sync across machines. I can’t for the life of me find them, even grepping across my entire home directory. Are they even stored client-side, or are they saved to your Cursor account server-side?

Hey, the AI rules file is stored in each individual project. There isn’t a global location for it.

Thanks for the response! I didn’t mean the .cursorrules, I meant the global setting that you write into the Cursor Settings:

I can’t seem to find where these are stored

They are stored inside Cursor, there’s no place where you can find them on your computer.
