description: Regenerate .cursorrules for Cursor with preserved team directives

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:

1. Check if `.cursorrules` exists 2. If exists, copy to `.cursorrules.backup-{YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS}` 3. Report backup location

Step 2: Extract Preserved Content

Same preservation patterns as other platforms:

1. **Explicit Preserve Blocks**: `<!-- PRESERVE -->` ... `<!-- /PRESERVE -->` 2. **Preserved Section Headings**: Team *, Org *, Definition of Done, etc. 3. **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

## 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 |

<!-- Add team-specific notes below. Content in preserved sections survives regeneration. -->

### 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
