More and more people are looking for standarize the storage folder of agents/commands/rules/skills/etc… and everyday more of another players are adopting the “.agents” as a “neutral” folder for it, to be compatible for multiple orchestration and etc.
Is there a plan to adopt it too like OpenCode and other players did ? For now is a bit tiring being in need of using sync alternatives/symbolic links to have all of it working well as one.
Hey @felippe.serralvo!
Thanks for the feedback. Right now .agents/skills is supported in Cursor. No concrete plans for supporting .agents/rules or other subfolders at this point.
Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
Cursor already loads skills from .agents/skills/ alongside .cursor/skills/ as documented on the Skills page:
Skills are automatically loaded from: .agents/skills/ (Project-level), .cursor/skills/ (Project-level)
.agents/ is emerging as a cross-platform location for agent configuration, and Cursor already treats it as a first-class directory for skills. It would be natural to extend this to rules as well.
The ask: apply the same discovery logic to .agents/rules/, loading .md / .mdc files using the same frontmatter parsing already used for .cursor/rules/.
This would give teams a single cross-platform location for all agent configuration without having to duplicate rules into .cursor/rules/ or maintain a sync step.
Operating System (if it applies)
MacOS
