Cursor rules should also search for and include rules from a local directory (~/.cursor/rules), merging them with the repository rules.
I prefer not to share my rules publicly, and I don’t want team rules to affect my personal rules.
Does anyone agree?
Thanks for mentioning the global rules in ~/.cursor/rules, I missed that moment.
I agree that there may be some personal rules, but in general, rules can serve as a project’s specification in natural language. Maintaining them as a team makes sense. For personal rules, you can always use .gtignore.
Is it applicable for 0.48 version?
There was no changes in managing rules since 0.47, so yes it is
Agree, the extension approach sounds like a serious security risk.
The intention might be pure (im giving it a 30% chance), but I’m definitely not installing that extension just so I can how it works in practice in the editor.
There are enough potential security issues and attack vectors in Cursor even without taking extra risks such as this.
What could potentially increase your trust level? I’m planning to get a verified badge on the marketplace, but it takes time. Any other ideas?
Hello everyone! I am the founder of Renvia Code, you can check out our github repo: best-cursor-rules. It’s very easy to use, powerful and follows latest best practices.
Its this easy:
Pull the repo into your project
Drop in the setup-wizard.md file in chat
Choose Plan(recommender)/Agent mode
Answer some questions and have the model setup everything!
– Tip: use a powerful model like opus 4.1/4.5, Gpt 5.1 Codex or sonnet 4.5 etc.
