Rules #

Rules in the rules/ directory are automatically applied based on their configuration. Each rule is a .mdc file with frontmatter defining when it applies.

Agents #

Agents in the agents/ directory define specialized subagents that can be invoked for specific tasks.

Skills #

Skills in the skills/ directory are self-contained capabilities that agents can use. Each skill has a SKILL.md file that describes what it does and how to use it.

Hooks #

Hooks in hooks/hooks.json define automation that runs before or after certain events.

MCP Servers #

MCP server configurations in mcp.json define integrations with external tools and services.
