Affaan Mustafa 261332dc50 feat: add Cursor IDE support with pre-translated configs
Add complete .cursor/ directory with rules, agents, skills, commands,
and MCP config adapted for Cursor's format. This makes ecc-universal
a truly cross-IDE package supporting Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode.

- 27 rule files with YAML frontmatter (description, globs, alwaysApply)
- 13 agent files with full model IDs and readonly flags
- 30 skill directories (identical Agent Skills standard, no translation)
- 31 command files (5 multi-* stubbed for missing codeagent-wrapper)
- MCP config with Cursor env interpolation syntax
- README.md and MIGRATION.md documentation
- install.sh --target cursor flag for project-scoped installation
- package.json updated with .cursor/ in files and cursor keywords

Core coding style rules: immutability, file organization, error handling, input validation true

Coding Style

Immutability (CRITICAL)

ALWAYS create new objects, NEVER mutate existing ones:

// Pseudocode
WRONG:  modify(original, field, value) → changes original in-place
CORRECT: update(original, field, value) → returns new copy with change

Rationale: Immutable data prevents hidden side effects, makes debugging easier, and enables safe concurrency.

File Organization

MANY SMALL FILES > FEW LARGE FILES:

  • High cohesion, low coupling
  • 200-400 lines typical, 800 max
  • Extract utilities from large modules
  • Organize by feature/domain, not by type

Error Handling

ALWAYS handle errors comprehensively:

  • Handle errors explicitly at every level
  • Provide user-friendly error messages in UI-facing code
  • Log detailed error context on the server side
  • Never silently swallow errors

Input Validation

ALWAYS validate at system boundaries:

  • Validate all user input before processing
  • Use schema-based validation where available
  • Fail fast with clear error messages
  • Never trust external data (API responses, user input, file content)

Code Quality Checklist

Before marking work complete:

  • Code is readable and well-named
  • Functions are small (<50 lines)
  • Files are focused (<800 lines)
  • No deep nesting (>4 levels)
  • Proper error handling
  • No hardcoded values (use constants or config)
  • No mutation (immutable patterns used)
