In `@rules/wrf-protocol.mdc`:
- Line 27: The command-ledger lifecycle must define outcome records for every
risk level, including successful execution and failure, rather than
transitioning only dangerous commands to executed. Preserve append-only
command_ledger semantics by recording a new outcome entry instead of mutating
the initial pending entry, so resume can distinguish unrun, completed, and
failed commands.
- Around line 21-24: Update the command serialization rule in the protocol
schema so every command value is emitted as valid YAML, including proper
escaping of embedded double quotes and backslashes. Ensure examples such as
commands containing quoted text remain parseable during state resume, while
preserving the existing fields and status format.
- Around line 3-4: Update the rule metadata for the WRF protocol by changing
alwaysApply to true, while leaving the existing globs entry unchanged.

Cursor rules MDC globs alwaysApply false auto attached rule active context matching referenced files session
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In Cursor, project rules are managed using.mdc (Markdown Cursor) files located in the.cursor/rules/ directory [1][2][3]. These files use YAML frontmatter to define how and when the rules are applied to your chat sessions [1][4][5]. The behavior of a rule is determined by the combination of the alwaysApply, globs, and description fields in the frontmatter [1][2][4]. Activation Modes: 1. Always Apply: Set alwaysApply: true. The rule is included in every chat session, regardless of context [1][2][6]. Globs and descriptions are ignored [1][7]. 2. Auto-Attached (Glob-based): Set alwaysApply: false and provide a globs pattern [1][2][4]. The rule is automatically attached to the agent's context when a file matching the specified glob pattern is in the active context [1][2][8]. 3. Apply Intelligently (Agent-decided): Set alwaysApply: false and provide a description (without globs) [1][2][4]. The agent evaluates the description to decide if the rule is relevant to the current task [1][7][6]. 4. Apply Manually: Set alwaysApply: false with no globs and no description [1][2][4]. The rule is only included when you explicitly @-mention it in the chat (e.g., @rule-name) [1][2][8]. Key Implementation Details: - File Extension: Rules must use the.mdc extension [1][3][9]. Plain.md files in the.cursor/rules/ directory are ignored by the rules system [1][2][9]. - Globs: Use comma-separated strings for multiple patterns [1][7]. These patterns define which files trigger the rule [3][5]. - Verification: You can verify if a rule is active by checking the Agent sidebar or the active context indicator in the chat prompt bar [8][10]. If a rule is not triggering, ensure the file extension is.mdc, the frontmatter is correctly configured, and (for auto-attached rules) that a matching file is actually in the current context [2][4][10]. For general documentation that should not be processed as a rule, use AGENTS.md instead of.mdc files [1][4][9].

site:cursor.com/docs/rules Cursor auto-attached glob rule remains active after matching file leaves context later turns session
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
According to the official Cursor documentation, rules configured with glob patterns are designed to be auto-attached when a matching file is present in the context [1][2]. The documentation specifies that when a glob pattern is provided (and alwaysApply is set to false), the rule is included in the model context specifically when a matching file is in context [1][2]. The documentation does not explicitly state that a rule remains active after the matching file is removed from the context. By design, the "auto-attached" behavior is tied to the presence of the matching file in the context [1][2]. If you are observing that a rule remains active after the file leaves the context, this may be due to the session state or how the AI agent maintains context during a conversation. If a rule is intended to be strictly scoped, ensure that alwaysApply is set to false and that the glob pattern accurately reflects the desired file scope [1][2].

Make the WRF protocol rule session-wide.
Cursor applies a rule with alwaysApply: false and globs only when a matching file is in context. A later turn with only nonmatching source files can omit this rule from model context. That breaks “Apply this contract for the whole session” and can allow unlogged commands.
Set alwaysApply: true; Cursor ignores globs in this mode.

site:github.com/quanliangdaima/1G10K-wrf-protocol WRF protocol command_ledger YAML escaping serialization
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The WRF protocol uses a command_ledger to record terminal commands, file deletions, and system-mutating actions as structured instructions [1]. These entries are automatically generated and injected into the AI context to facilitate a human-approval workflow, where commands are declared before execution and checked against a dangerous-command pattern library [1]. While the WRF protocol utilizes structured data within.wrf.md files to manage these workflows [1], the provided documentation does not contain specific technical details regarding YAML escaping or serialization requirements for the command_ledger. The protocol functions as a behavioral layer that forces command declaration and verification, relying on the integration of these ledger entries with Sentry's raw CLI pattern scanning to detect dangerous commands even if they are not correctly recorded in the ledger [1].

Serialize command strings as valid YAML.
The example uses a double-quoted scalar, but the rule does not define escaping for embedded double quotes or backslashes. A command such as echo "ready" can produce invalid YAML when inserted literally and break state parsing during resume. Require YAML-safe serialization for every command value.

| Destructive patterns (`rm -rf`, `del /f /s`, `format`, `mkfs`, `dd`, `DROP TABLE`, `git reset --hard`, `shutdown`) MUST be classified `dangerous`. If risk is `dangerous`: STOP after logging, surface the command, and wait for explicit user confirmation. Execute only after the entry exists, then set `status: "executed"`. Never run an unlogged command. |

Define a complete command-ledger lifecycle.
Every entry starts as pending. This line defines an executed transition only for dangerous commands. Safe and caution commands have no required transition. The append-only requirement for command_ledger also conflicts with mutating the pending entry. Resume cannot distinguish an unrun command from a completed command. Define outcome records for every risk level, including failure.

Keeps long-running agent sessions resumable and auditable: Cursor maintains a single
.wrf.mdstate file, must append every shell command tocommand_ledgerbefore executing it, gates destructive commands (rm -rf,git reset --hard, etc.) behind explicit user confirmation, and writes step checkpoints for safe resume/handoff across sessions or tools.Added Or Changed Files
