AI Models
Describe the request
I find that sometimes a model debugs in a long winded way… Id like to provide some rules for that specific model.
Operating System (if it applies)
Windows 10/11
interesting idea. right now you cant set rules per model in cursor, but you can kind of work around it with how you structure your rules.
some models are better at following detailed rules than others. in my testing, the more specific a rule is, the more consistently all models follow it. vague rules like write clean code get ignored by every model equally.
one practical approach: keep your rules specific and verifiable regardless of model. something like always use branded types for ID fields works whether you are on claude, gpt-4, or gemini because its concrete enough for any model to check its own output against.
if cursor did add per-model rules, id use it to adjust strictness. like maybe claude handles long detailed rules better so you give it more, while a faster model gets a shorter focused set. but honestly the bigger win is just making rules specific enough that any model can follow them.
