  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by jmagly on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/jmagly/aiwg/tree/main/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-utils/skills/aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jmagly/aiwg.git /tmp/aiwg
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/aiwg/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-utils/skills/aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules .claude/skills/aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Regenerate .cursorrules

Regenerate the .cursorrules file for Cursor IDE integration, analyzing current project state while preserving team directives and organizational requirements.

Hook file approach (default): Generates AIWG-cursor.md and adds @AIWG-cursor.md directive to .cursorrules. Note: Cursor's @-link support in .cursorrules is partially confirmed — see #444.

Full inject (--full-inject): Embeds AIWG content inline with AIWG markers (safe fallback).

Parameters

FlagDescription
--no-backupSkip creating backup file
--dry-runPreview changes without writing
--show-preservedList all detected preserved content and exit
--fullFull regeneration, preserve nothing (destructive)

Execution Steps

Step 1: Create Backup

Unless --no-backup specified:

  1. Check if .cursorrules exists
  2. If exists, copy to .cursorrules.backup-{YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS}
  3. Report backup location

Step 2: Extract Preserved Content

Same preservation patterns as other platforms:

  1. Explicit Preserve Blocks: <!-- PRESERVE --> ... <!-- /PRESERVE -->
  2. Preserved Section Headings: Team *, Org *, Definition of Done, etc.
  3. Inline Directives: Lines with directive keywords

Step 3: Analyze Project

  • Languages and package managers
  • Development commands
  • Test framework
  • CI/CD configuration
  • Directory structure
  • Cursor-specific configuration in .cursor/

Step 4: Detect AIWG State

Check installed frameworks by scanning:

  • .cursor/agents/ for deployed agents
  • .cursor/rules/ for MDC rules
  • .cursor/commands/ for commands

Read registry for framework versions.

Step 5: Generate .cursorrules

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules AI skill do?

Regenerate .cursorrules for Cursor with preserved team directives

Why use Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/jmagly/aiwg/tree/main/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-utils/skills/aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Aiwg Regenerate Cursorrules AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by jmagly under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
