Agent Rules Converter
Paste a rule file, pick where it should go, and copy the converted file. When to apply the rule (always, by file pattern, on request) is carried over where the target supports it.
What it is for?What it is for?
Every coding agent reads project rules, but from a different file and with different headers. AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md are plain Markdown that always applies. Cursor, Copilot and Windsurf can also limit a rule to some files, or let the agent pull it in when the description matches.
How the modes map
- Always: Cursor alwaysApply: true, Copilot applyTo: "**", Windsurf trigger: always_on, or a plain Markdown file.
- By file pattern: Cursor globs, Copilot applyTo, Windsurf trigger: glob.
- When relevant: Cursor description without globs, Windsurf model_decision. Copilot has no such mode; the rule then applies to every file.
- Manual: Cursor with no description or globs (call it with @rule), Windsurf manual.
Plain Markdown targets have no headers, so a file pattern or a description becomes a sentence at the top of the rule. The page lists every place where something could not be carried over.
