Copy agdr.mdc to your project's .cursor/rules/ directory:

mkdir -p /path/to/your/project/.cursor/rules
cp agdr.mdc /path/to/your/project/.cursor/rules/agdr.mdc

This uses Cursor's modern MDC rule format with alwaysApply: true, so the AgDR enforcement is active in every conversation.

If your project still uses the legacy .cursorrules format:

cp .cursorrules /path/to/your/project/.cursorrules

Or append to your existing file:

cat .cursorrules >> /path/to/your/project/.cursorrules

When Cursor detects a technical decision during coding (choosing a library, picking an architecture pattern, etc.), it will:

1. Stop before implementing
2. Present options with pros/cons
3. Create an AgDR file at docs/agdr/AgDR-NNNN-slug.md
4. Then proceed with implementation

You ask Cursor: "Add a state management library to this React app"

Instead of just installing Redux, Cursor will:

1. Compare options (Redux, Zustand, Jotai, Context API)
2. Create docs/agdr/AgDR-0001-state-management-library.md
3. Then install and configure the chosen library
