Cursor launched Cursor Rules 2.0, introducing path-specific glob scoping and branch-aware policy inheritance. Developers can assign scoped guidelines for frontend components versus backend APIs. Cursor Composer dynamically activates applicable rules, eliminating prompt clutter and enforcing strict engineering standards.
Key Takeaways
- ✓Glob-pattern scoping selectively applies guidelines to relevant frontend or backend files.
- ✓Branch-aware inheritance allows strict policy enforcement on release branches versus dev branches.
- ✓Reduces prompt overhead by 60%, reserving more context window for active code implementation.
