Feature Request: Temporary Disable Cursor Rules

Problem
Cursor always applies configured “Rules for AI” to every chat and agent session, which can be disruptive when you need a quick, rule-free interaction.

Proposal
Add a runtime toggle command—either a slash (/) command or an at-command (@)—to disable and re-enable all active Cursor rules for the current session:

  • /rules disable or @rules:disable → Temporarily suspend all rule evaluation
  • /rules enable or @rules:enable → Restore previously active rules

Use Cases

  1. Ad-hoc prototyping without rule constraints
  2. One-off chats where rules are irrelevant
  3. Testing agent behavior in a “clean” context

Hey, thanks for the feature request, we’ll consider it.
