Personal Cursor configuration: rules and agent skills that shape how the AI behaves in your editor.
Copy the contents of this repository into ~/.cursor. That is the entire install—no build step, package manager, or extra tooling.
# Clone (or download) this repo, then copy rules and skills into ~/.cursor
cp -r rules skills ~/.cursor/If you already have files in ~/.cursor/rules or ~/.cursor/skills, merge carefully so you do not overwrite anything you want to keep. You can copy individual files instead of whole directories.
Cursor reads rules from ~/.cursor/rules/ and skills from ~/.cursor/skills/ automatically.

| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
branch-issue-review |
Code review in the current workspace git repo: branch vs base (code review, review this PR) requires a clean tree; working tree (review uncommitted diff, review staged changes) reviews local changes without commit. Applies workspace rules by file type, large-diff policy, and report-only test/CI guidance. |
