Adds an always-apply Cursor rule (.cursor/rules/prefer-ascii.mdc) so agents prefer ASCII-centric characters in written output:

  • -> instead of arrow glyphs
  • ... instead of single-character ellipses
  • straight ' / " quotes
  • - instead of long dashes
  • no emoji or similar glyphs
Open in Web Open in Cursor 

Prefer ->, ..., straight quotes, and hyphen dashes; avoid emoji and
similar glyphs in agent-written output.
