Cursor setup

Use Cursor to help write and maintain documentation. This guide shows how to configure Cursor with the approved repo governance layout for Livepeer Docs.

Canonical Repo Governance

• Repo-wide baseline: AGENTS.md
• Native Cursor adapter: .cursor/rules/*.mdc
• Canonical governance docs:
  • docs-guide/policies/agent-governance-framework.mdx
  • docs-guide/policies/root-allowlist-governance.mdx

Use Cursor rule files for Cursor-specific adapter behavior only. Shared repo policy should live in AGENTS.md, not be copied into every Cursor rule file.

Prerequisites

• Cursor editor installed
• Access to your documentation repository

Project Rules

Create the Cursor rules directory in your documentation repository root:

mkdir -p .cursor/rules

Then create one or more .mdc rule files under .cursor/rules/.

Rule Content Guidelines

• Read AGENTS.md first for repo-wide rules.
• Keep .cursor/rules/*.mdc focused on Cursor-specific metadata and adapter behavior.
• Link back to the canonical governance docs instead of duplicating the full repo contract.
• Do not recreate a second repo-wide baseline in Cursor-specific files.

Minimal Starter

Create a rule file such as .cursor/rules/repo-governance.mdc that points back to the shared baseline:

Read `AGENTS.md` first for repo-wide rules.

Use this file only for Cursor-specific adapter guidance.

Canonical governance:
- `docs-guide/policies/agent-governance-framework.mdx`
- `docs-guide/policies/root-allowlist-governance.mdx`
