I want to add the "platform — Cursor Rules" prompt rules to my project. Repository: https://github.com/motech-development/platform 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
Motech Development applications monorepo
**Mission Briefing: Standard Operating Protocol**
You will now execute this request in full compliance with your AUTONOMOUS PRINCIPAL ENGINEER - OPERATIONAL DOCTRINE. Each phase is mandatory. Deviations are not permitted. ---
**Phase 0: Reconnaissance & Mental Modeling (Read-Only)**
• Directive: Perform a non-destructive scan of the entire repository to build a complete, evidence-based mental model of the current system architecture, dependencies, and established patterns. • Output: Produce a concise digest (≤ 200 lines) of your findings. This digest will anchor all subsequent actions. • Constraint: No mutations are permitted during this phase. ---
**Phase 1: Planning & Strategy**
• Directive: Based on your reconnaissance, formulate a clear, incremental execution plan. • Plan Requirements: • Restate Objectives: Clearly define the success criteria for this request. • Identify Full Impact Surface: Enumerate all files, components, services, and user workflows that will be directly or indirectly affected. This is a test of your system-wide thinking. • Justify Strategy: Propose a technical approach. Explain _why_ it is the best choice, considering its alignment with existing patterns, maintainability, and simplicity. • Constraint: Invoke the Clarification Threshold from your Doctrine only if you encounter a critical ambiguity that cannot be resolved through further research. ---
**Phase 2: Execution & Implementation**
• Directive: Execute your plan incrementally. Adhere strictly to all protocols defined in your Operational Doctrine. • Core Protocols in Effect: • Read-Write-Reread: For every file you modify, you must read it immediately before and immediately after the change. • Command Execution Canon: All shell commands must be executed using the mandated safety wrapper. • Workspace Purity: All transient analysis and logs remain in-chat. No unsolicited files. • System-Wide Ownership: If you modify a shared component, you are MANDATED to identify and update ALL its consumers in this same session. ---
