-`.cursorrules` is a powerful feature in Cursor AI that allows developers to define project-specific instructions for the AI. Here's why you might want to use it:
+**[Rules for AI](https://docs.cursor.com/context/rules-for-ai)** is a powerful feature in Cursor AI that allows developers to define global or project-specific instructions for the AI. Here's why you might want to use it:
 
-1. **Customized AI Behavior**: `.cursorrules` files help tailor the AI's responses to your project's specific needs, ensuring more relevant and accurate code suggestions.

 3. **Context Awareness**: You can provide the AI with important context about your project, such as commonly used methods, architectural decisions, or specific libraries, leading to more informed code generation.
 
 4. **Improved Productivity**: With well-defined rules, the AI can generate code that requires less manual editing, speeding up your development process.
 
-5. **Team Alignment**: For team projects, a shared `.cursorrules` file ensures that all team members receive consistent AI assistance, promoting cohesion in coding practices.

 6. **Project-Specific Knowledge**: You can include information about your project's structure, dependencies, or unique requirements, helping the AI to provide more accurate and relevant suggestions.
 
-By creating a `.cursorrules` file in your project's root directory, you can leverage these benefits and enhance your coding experience with Cursor AI.
+## Setting Up Rules in Cursor
+
+### Global Rules
+
+You can set global rules that apply across all projects:
+
+1. Open Cursor Settings
+2. Navigate to General > Rules for AI
+3. Add your custom instructions
+
+### Project Rules (Recommended)
+
+Cursor now offers a more powerful and flexible rules system.
+
+**To Create a Project Rule:**
+
+1. Open the command palette (Cmd + Shift + P)
+2. Select "New Cursor Rule"
+3. Configure your rule with patterns and instructions
+
+### Legacy .cursorrules File
+
+While still supported for backward compatibility, the `.cursorrules` file in the project root is deprecated. We recommend migrating to the new Project Rules system for better flexibility and control over your AI interactions.
