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

Migrating from Claude Code to Cursor

This guide maps Claude Code concepts to their Cursor equivalents.

Concept Mapping

Claude Code Cursor Notes
~/.claude/rules/ .cursor/rules/ Project-scoped; YAML frontmatter with description, globs, alwaysApply
~/.claude/agents/ .cursor/agents/ model: opusmodel: anthropic/claude-opus-4-5; toolsreadonly
~/.claude/skills/ .cursor/skills/ Identical Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md)
~/.claude/commands/ .cursor/commands/ Compatible markdown format
~/.claude.json mcpServers .cursor/mcp.json Uses ${env:VAR_NAME} interpolation syntax
Hooks (PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop) No equivalent Use linters, formatters, pre-commit hooks, CI/CD
Contexts Rules with alwaysApply: false Manually activated via @ mentions
model: opus model: anthropic/claude-opus-4-5 Full model ID required
model: sonnet model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 Full model ID required
tools: ["Read", "Grep"] readonly: true Read-only tools mapped to readonly flag
tools: ["Read", "Write", "Bash"] readonly: false Write tools mapped to full access

Feature Parity Matrix

Feature Claude Code Cursor Status
Rules Global + Project Project only Available
Agents Full tool control readonly flag Available
Skills Agent Skills standard Agent Skills standard Identical
Commands Slash commands Slash commands Available
MCP Servers Native support Native support Available
Hooks PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop Not available Use alternatives
Contexts Context files Rules (alwaysApply: false) Partial
Multi-model orchestration codeagent-wrapper Not available Not available
Global config ~/.claude/ Project .cursor/ only Different scope

Key Differences

Rules

  • Claude Code: Rules stored globally in ~/.claude/rules/ with subdirectories
  • Cursor: Rules stored in project .cursor/rules/ with YAML frontmatter for metadata
  • Translation: Subdirectory paths flattened with hyphens (e.g., common/security.mdcommon-security.md)

Agents

  • Claude Code: Specify individual tools via tools: [...] array
  • Cursor: Binary readonly: true/false flag
  • Translation: Read-only tools (Read, Grep, Glob) → readonly: true; any write tool → readonly: false

Model IDs

  • Claude Code: Short names (opus, sonnet, haiku)
  • Cursor: Full Anthropic model IDs (anthropic/claude-opus-4-5, anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5)

Hooks → Alternatives

Claude Code hooks have no direct equivalent in Cursor. Alternatives:

  • Formatting on save: Configure Cursor's format-on-save with Prettier, Black, gofmt
  • Linting: Use Cursor's built-in linter integration (ESLint, Ruff, golangci-lint)
  • Pre-commit: Use husky or pre-commit for git hooks
  • CI/CD: Move stop-hook checks to GitHub Actions or similar

MCP Configuration

  • Claude Code: Environment values use placeholder strings (e.g., "YOUR_GITHUB_PAT_HERE")
  • Cursor: Environment values use interpolation syntax (e.g., "${env:GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN}")

Tips for Migrating

  1. Start with rules: Install common + your language-specific rules first
  2. Add agents gradually: Start with planner and code-reviewer, add others as needed
  3. Skills are plug-and-play: The skills/ directory works identically in both tools
  4. Set up MCP: Copy mcp.json and configure your environment variables
  5. Replace hooks with CI: Set up pre-commit hooks and CI checks for what you lose from Claude Code hooks
