/rules

Interactive browser for viewing and editing the loaded Cursor rules.

/rules opens an interactive browser for the currently loaded Cursor rules, including inline editing. Rules in .cursor/rules in subdirectories are discovered everywhere, matching the IDE. Documented in the official changelog, not (yet) listed in the command reference table.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Check which rules are active in the current session

/rules — check which project conventions apply before a task

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

It's about skills or custom commands, not rules

/rules only shows Cursor rules.

Better: Use /skills or /commands
