Helix AI

An intelligent VS Code extension that automatically manages project-specific coding rules for Cursor AI, ensuring consistent development standards across repositories.

Features

Automatic Rule Management

• Repo Detection: Automatically detects Git repositories in your workspace
• Smart Rule Syncing: Deploys appropriate rules based on repository name or project dependencies
• Real-time Updates: Syncs rules on startup, workspace changes, and manual commands

Rule Deployment Logic

1. Repository Match: If your repo matches a configured repository name, deploys both repo-specific and common rules
2. Dependency Fallback: If no repo match but @marmeto_engineering/anthers-components is in dependencies, deploys common rules only
3. Cleanup: Removes stale helix rules when no conditions are met

File Management

• Syncs rules to .cursor/rules/ directory as .mdc files
• Enforces YAML frontmatter with alwaysApply: true
• Supports multiple workspace folders simultaneously
• Automatic cleanup of outdated rule files

Requirements

• VS Code or Cursor editor
• Git repository (for automatic repo detection)
• Node.js project with package.json (for dependency detection)

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• helix-ai.syncRules: Manual command to sync project rules
• Automatic activation on startup and workspace folder changes

Usage

1. Automatic: Rules sync automatically when you:

   • Start VS Code/Cursor

   • Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
