I want to introduce an idea for utilizing AI for huge repositories. It’s a tool-agnostic technique. The IDE you use does not matter. The size of your code base can be huge; AI will still work with this technique. tl;dr; My .cursorrules: - Firs...

I like the idea of rules file, but I don’t want to lock-in my project to Cursor because someone may want to use a different IDE than it.

that makes perfect sense, especially when you have so many vs code forks around working the same way basically 😅
