Introducing the Cursor Rules Migration Tool 🎉

To help you transition smoothly to the all-new Project Rules system, we're thrilled to introduce the Cursor Rules Migration Tool!

Background

As we've mentioned before, the .cursorrules file is kept for backward compatibility, but it has some limitations in terms of flexibility and maintainability. The new Project Rules system offers more powerful features and more flexible configuration options, which can better meet the needs of complex projects.

However, manually converting existing .cursorrules files to the new Project Rules format can be quite tedious and error-prone. To address this issue, we've developed this migration tool, which aims to simplify the migration process and make it easier for you to embrace the new system.

Features

The Cursor Rules Migration Tool has the following core features:

• Automated Analysis: The tool can automatically parse your project's .cursorrules files, understanding the rules defined within.
• Intelligent Conversion: Based on the analysis of the .cursorrules files, the tool can intelligently convert the rules to the new Project Rules format.
• Multi-file Generation: The migration tool doesn't simply generate a single file, but rather splits the rules into multiple separate .mdc rule files based on their function and type, making the rule structure clearer and management easier.
• Migration Guidance: During the migration process, the tool provides necessary guidance and suggestions to help you better understand the differences between the old and new rule systems, ensuring a smooth migration.
