Feature request for product/service

BugBot

Describe the request

Hi Cursor team,

Quick thought on bugbot team rules : it feels off to me that these are living outside of the codebase.

Our team usually defines rules and skills to guide agents towards the code patterns that we want to enforce in our codebase.

I would like to point Bugbot at those skills and rules so that it makes sure during its reviews that they are correctly applied. I’ve just created a team rule that contains the list of “code guidelines” skills, but I’m worried this will quickly go out of date, as we will have to remember to keep this list updated each time we add such a skill.

It’d be great if we could configure this behavior directly from our repo.

Thanks!

Hey @acornet

You can crate project-level rules in your codebase! (Bugbot | Cursor Docs)

Create .cursor/BUGBOT.md files to provide project-specific context for reviews. Bugbot always includes the root .cursor/BUGBOT.md file and any additional files found while traversing upward from changed files.

Are you talking about something else?

That’s super useful, thanks Colin!
