Does Codehabits replace .cursor/rules?

It complements them. Hand-written rules still work for local preferences; Codehabits adds evidence-backed team conventions from PRs and keeps them in sync across the team.

Do I need PR history on day one?

No. Enable works with zero PRs using a codebase baseline. PR history deepens conventions, anti-patterns, and reviewer expertise over time.

No. Skills and AGENTS.md work without MCP. MCP adds live tools (check_code, get_repo_map, record_feedback) that agents can call mid-session.

Team intelligence inside Cursor

Cursor rules drift. Codehabits extracts how your team actually ships from GitHub PR history and delivers it to Cursor through Agent Skills and MCP — so every agent session starts with the same ground truth.

How it works

01
Learn from the repo
Run codehabits enable. It builds a day-1 baseline from code, docs, and git — then deepens with PR review history when available.
02
Deliver as Skills + AGENTS.md
Generated skills land under .cursor/skills (and shared .agents/.claude paths). AGENTS.md gets a bounded Team Intelligence section Cursor already reads.
03
Query live via MCP
Install @codehabits/mcp into .cursor/mcp.json. Agents call get_team_context, check_code, get_repo_map, and more instead of guessing.

Setup

Step 1

Enable Codehabits in the repo

Authenticates with GitHub and writes .codehabits/ plus skills.

npx @codehabits/cli enable

Step 2

Install the MCP server for Cursor

Writes .cursor/mcp.json (add --global for ~/.cursor/mcp.json).

npx @codehabits/cli mcp-install

Step 3

Restart Cursor / reload MCP

Confirm the codehabits server is connected, then ask the agent to follow team conventions from .codehabits/.

What you get

.codehabits/ conventions, anti-patterns, knowledge, reviewers, map
Agent Skills under .cursor/skills and shared skill trees
AGENTS.md Team Intelligence section
MCP tools for live convention checks and repo map queries
