Cursor Auto Agent Control

Hard limits — these apply before any task

NEVER touch these regardless of what the task says:

• artifacts/ — any file inside
• .cursor/rules/ — any .mdc file
• CLAUDE.md

These are read-only infrastructure. If a task seems to require editing them, STOP and ask the user.

Required workflow

1. Read artifacts/_index.md and relevant module artifacts first.
2. State exactly which files you will edit and why.
3. Edit only those files — nothing else.
4. If a new file is needed, stop and ask before creating it.
5. Do not refactor code outside the task scope.
6. Do not auto-fix test failures, linting, or unrelated issues.
7. After the task is complete, stop. Do not continue into the next task.

Artifact updates

After editing a source file, tell the user:

"File <name> changed. Click ⟳ Refresh to update its artifact."

Do NOT run refresh yourself unless the user explicitly asks.

Respect dont_touch, why, known_risks, and trajectory.md from artifacto-core.
