Fetch Rules

Purpose

This skill emulates Cursor's rule selection behavior for AI agents.

It discovers and selects rules from:

Project Rules (
```
.cursor/rules/
```
)
- ```
.mdc
```
  files with frontmatter (
```
description
```
  ,
```
globs
```
  ,
```
alwaysApply
```
  )
- ```
.md
```
  files without frontmatter (treated as always-apply)
AGENTS.md files (root and nested subdirectories)
Legacy
.cursorrules
at repo root (deprecated but still supported)

Rule Selection Semantics

Rule Type	Selection Behavior
`alwaysApply: true`	Always included
Simple `.md` (no frontmatter)	Always included
`globs: ...`	Included when any candidate file matches
`description: ...`	Included when prompt overlaps with description keywords
No metadata ( `.mdc` only)	Included only when explicitly referenced
`AGENTS.md`	Always included when in scope (directory hierarchy)

Candidate files come from

--files

--use-git-diff

, and file-like paths found in

--prompt

Requirements

```
bash
```
(macOS / Linux default)
```
git
```
optional (only if you use
```
--use-git-diff
```
)

No Python, Node, or jq required.

Usage

Run commands from this skill directory (the directory containing this

SKILL.md

). Do not hardcode agent install paths.

bash scripts/fetch_rules.sh --prompt "<your request>"

Optional file hints:

bash scripts/fetch_rules.sh --prompt "<request>" --files path/to/a.ts path/to/b.sql
bash scripts/fetch_rules.sh --prompt "<request>" --use-git-diff

Force-include a rule by filename:

bash scripts/fetch_rules.sh --prompt "<request>" --explicit global.mdc
bash scripts/fetch_rules.sh --prompt "<request>" --explicit react-patterns.md

Supported Formats

Format	Location	Description
`.mdc`	`.cursor/rules/`	Rules with YAML frontmatter for fine-grained control
`.md`	`.cursor/rules/`	Simple markdown rules (always applied)
`AGENTS.md`	Root or subdirs	Simple agent instructions (always applied in scope)
`.cursorrules`	Root only	Legacy format (deprecated, will be removed)

Notes

If multiple rules share the same filename, the rule in the closest scoped directory wins (deepest scope).
Glob matching uses bash pattern matching (
```
[[ file == pattern ]]
```
). Cursor-style
```
**
```
works effectively as
```
*
```
in this matcher.
```
AGENTS.md
```
files are combined hierarchically—parent directories' instructions apply alongside more specific subdirectory instructions.
