Users of the AI-powered code editor Cursor are discussing the management of team-specific rule files. As codebases age and team rules accumulate, these files can become unwieldy, with overlapping or outdated information. This leads to inefficiencies, as Cursor processes the entire rule set for every task, even when much of it is irrelevant. Developers are seeking best practices for organizing these rules, such as per-folder splitting or single large files, and are questioning who should be responsible for maintaining them to ensure they remain useful and capture crucial project decisions.
