braid vs Cursor Team Rules
Cursor Team Rules lets admins define shared rules for Cursor users. It works well for Cursor-only teams, but it's locked to one tool. If your team also uses Claude Code, Copilot, or Codex, you need a separate solution for each.

Why multi-tool teams choose braid

Cursor Team Rules only work in Cursor. braid compiles your standards to .cursor/skills/, .claude/skills/, .github/skills/, and 35+ other agent formats from one source.
Skills, agents, and workflows
Cursor Team Rules are static text. braid supports rules, on-demand skills, specialist agents, and multi-step workflows — a full standards system, not just instructions.
GitHub sync with security
