Convert .cursorrules to .mdc or AGENTS.md
Keep your existing instruction text and export one always-applied Cursor project rule or a plain AGENTS.md file. Review the output before installing.
Your rule stays in browser memory. No upload, account or AI request. Input limit: 100 KiB.
Result
Paste text and run the tool to see the result.
These checks do not run Cursor, match files in your repository, or detect conflicts between instructions. A successful check does not guarantee runtime behavior.
Cursor Rules vs AGENTS.md
| Format | Install path | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| .mdc | .cursor/rules/project-rules.mdc | Converter output always applies |
| AGENTS.md | Repository root | Plain instructions; no MDC trigger metadata |

Copy or download the chosen file, create its destination directory if needed, and review it before committing. Existing files must be merged manually. Conversion preserves text and does not guarantee identical behavior across tools.
