Lack of agent-editable global rules
Merchants are frustrated that the AI agent cannot update global rules. Current workarounds for managing user rules are not ideal as they often require committing files to the project repository.

How is it possibly the case that there is no way for an agent to update my global rules?
Cursor support user rules, only thing is missing is being able to specify how those user rules are applied (same as for project rule) and being able to @ them in the agent.
