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

### 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
