.cursorrules import.

Automatic import

If your project has a .cursorrules file, Rabbit IDE imports it automatically on first open. The contents are loaded into the agent system prompt alongside any .rabbitrules file.

Priority order

When multiple rule files exist, they are merged in this order (later entries override earlier ones):

• ~/.rabbitrules (global)
• .cursorrules
• .windsurfrules
• .rabbitrules (project-level, highest priority)

No migration needed

You do not need to rename or convert your .cursorrulesfile. Rabbit reads it as-is. If you later create a.rabbitrules file, both are loaded -- with.rabbitrules taking precedence on conflicting instructions.

Cursor-specific directives

Cursor-specific directives (e.g. @codebase mentions) are silently ignored since they depend on Cursor's proprietary context system. All standard natural-language instructions work unchanged.
