# Share Cursor rules with Claude Code

June 9, 2025

Using Claude Code inside Cursor? Don't repeat your rules in CLAUDE.⁠md

Instead:

\- Give your existing rules to Cursor/CC
\- Ask it to write CLAUDE.⁠md for you
\- Tell agent to ref Cursor rules (@⁠.⁠cursor/rules/{rule}.⁠mdc)

Updates to Cursor rules will now apply to CC too 👌
