Cursor Rules

This project uses Cursor rules for consistent code quality and documentation standards. When working on this codebase, review and apply the relevant rules from .cursor/rules/:

Rule Application

• Always Apply Rules: Rules with alwaysApply: true in their frontmatter should be followed for all code changes
• Context-Specific Rules: Rules with globs patterns apply only when working with matching file types
• General Rules: Rules without specific glob patterns apply based on their description and context

Available Rules

Check the .cursor/rules/ directory for current rules. Each rule file contains:

• YAML frontmatter with description, globs, and alwaysApply fields
• Detailed requirements and examples
• Critical rules that must be followed

Before making changes, scan the rules directory to understand which rules apply to your current work.
