I want to add the "varlock — Cursor Rules" prompt rules to my project.
Repository: https://github.com/dmno-dev/varlock

Please read the repo to find the rules/prompt file, then:
1. Download it to the correct location (.cursorrules, .windsurfrules, .github/prompts/, or project root — based on the file type)
2. If there's an existing rules file, merge the new rules in rather than overwriting
3. Confirm what was added

Description

.env files built for sharing powered by @env-spec decorator comments
