source content

Regenerate .cursorrules

Regenerate the

.cursorrules

file for Cursor IDE integration, analyzing current project state while preserving team directives and organizational requirements.

Hook file approach (default): Generates

AIWG-cursor.md

and adds

@AIWG-cursor.md

directive to

.cursorrules

. Note: Cursor's @-link support in

.cursorrules

is partially confirmed — see #444.

Full inject (

--full-inject

): Embeds AIWG content inline with AIWG markers (safe fallback).

Parameters

Flag	Description
`--no-backup`	Skip creating backup file
`--dry-run`	Preview changes without writing
`--show-preserved`	List all detected preserved content and exit
`--full`	Full regeneration, preserve nothing (destructive)

Execution Steps

Step 1: Create Backup

Unless

--no-backup

specified:

Check if
```
.cursorrules
```
exists
If exists, copy to
```
.cursorrules.backup-{YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS}
```
Report backup location

Step 2: Extract Preserved Content

Same preservation patterns as other platforms:

Explicit Preserve Blocks:
```

```
...
```

```
Preserved Section Headings: Team *, Org *, Definition of Done, etc.
Inline Directives: Lines with directive keywords

Step 3: Analyze Project

Languages and package managers
Development commands
Test framework
CI/CD configuration
Directory structure
Cursor-specific configuration in
```
.cursor/
```

Step 4: Detect AIWG State

Check installed frameworks by scanning:

```
.cursor/agents/
```
for deployed agents
```
.cursor/rules/
```
for MDC rules
```
.cursor/commands/
```
for commands

Read registry for framework versions.

Step 5: Generate .cursorrules

Document Structure:

# .cursorrules

## AIWG Framework Integration

This project uses AIWG SDLC framework with Cursor.

### Installed Frameworks

| Framework | Agents | Commands |
|-----------|--------|----------|
| sdlc-complete | 54 | 42 |

### Using Agents

Invoke agents via @-mention in Cursor:

```text
@security-architect Review the authentication implementation
@test-engineer Generate unit tests for the user service

Natural Language Mappings

Request	Maps To
"run security review"	flow-security-review-cycle
"check status"	project-status
"start iteration N"	flow-iteration-dual-track

### Step 6: Write Output

**If `--dry-run`:** Display content, do not write.

**Otherwise:**
1. Write to `.cursorrules`
2. Report summary

.cursorrules Regenerated

Backup: .cursorrules.backup-20251206-153512

Preserved: 2 sections, 15 lines Regenerated: Project overview, structure, AIWG integration

Output: .cursorrules (187 lines)


## Examples

```bash
# Regenerate .cursorrules
/aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules

# Preview changes
/aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules --dry-run

# Check preserved content
/aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules --show-preserved

# Full regeneration
/aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules --full
