# 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:

```bash icon="terminal" theme={null}
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:

```markdown theme={null}
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`
```
