Context-Aware Assistance: Cursor Rules help the AI better understand the context of your project and provide more relevant suggestions.
Consistency: By defining rules, you ensure that the generated code adheres to the standards and conventions of your project.
Flexibility: You can combine global, project-wide, and pattern-specific rules to precisely control the AI.
Agent Mode: In newer versions of Cursor AI, rules can be used in "Agent Mode" to give the AI specific instructions on how to act (e.g., "You are instructa, a senior Rails developer with superpowers!").
