From 0b2a00ac6dfc077c3f909603cc4d428655164be4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: oluwajuwon omotayo Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 10:26:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat: add agent surfaces for Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI Three new pull-request drift checks, the same shape #68 established for Copilot: rules/context, skills and MCP configuration are files that arrive by pull request, so each is a status check rather than a session hook. Each path list was verified against current vendor documentation rather than assumed from the issue's own table, per #78's own instruction, and that changed the design in both directions: - Cursor: .cursor/rules/*.mdc is measured one level deep only, since Cursor's own forum documents nested rule files as not reliably read. Skills, by contrast, are measured anywhere in the tree, since Cursor's docs describe monorepo-scoped skill roots as intentional. - Windsurf: caught mid-rebrand from Cognition's Devin acquisition. .devin/rules/ is now preferred over .windsurf/rules/, verified directly against docs.windsurf.com's redirect to docs.devin.ai, but the skills surface has not moved the same way as of this writing, verified separately rather than assumed. Windsurf has no repository-resident MCP surface at all (home-directory only), so that engine ships with no mcp category. - Gemini CLI: GEMINI.md is measured anywhere in the tree per the documented context hierarchy; MCP configuration lives in .gemini/settings.json, digested whole rather than parsed for the one key that matters, the same tradeoff Copilot's engine makes for devcontainer.json. All three share agentrust-capture-core, wire up tests + integrity CI workflows matching the Copilot pattern's pinned action SHAs, and ship empty approved baselines in this repo for self-check dogfooding. 152 tests passing across all engines in this repo; no collisions with existing capture-core consumers.

A file added three directories down changes how the +agent behaves in that subtree without touching anything at the root, and that +is exactly the change worth catching. Vendored directories (`node_modules`, +`vendor`, `.venv` and friends) are skipped, so a dependency shipping its own +`GEMINI.md` is not counted as yours. + +**Skills stay fixed at the repository root**, the opposite choice from +`GEMINI.md`. Gemini CLI's docs describe workspace skills as living within the +current directory, with no equivalent to Cursor's documented +monorepo-anywhere skill roots, so matching below the root here would not +reflect anything Gemini CLI actually does. + +**`.gemini/settings.json` is digested whole**, not parsed for the one +`mcpServers` key that matters. The same file carries unrelated settings, +including the `context.fileName` override mentioned below, and a parser that +mishandles the file would quietly report nothing changed about a file it +failed to read. So an unrelated settings edit shows up as MCP-adjacent drift. +That is a false positive a reviewer resolves by reading the diff, the same +tradeoff Copilot's engine makes for `devcontainer.json`, and the direction +worth being wrong in. + +## What it does not do + +- **It does not follow `context.fileName`.** Gemini CLI's `settings.json` can + rename the file it looks for away from `GEMINI.md`. Detecting an arbitrary + configured name would mean parsing `settings.json` first to know what to + even look for, real complexity for what is, today, a rarely used override. + This measures the documented default name and says so, rather than silently + covering less than a green check implies. +- **It does not measure `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` or `~/.gemini/settings.json`.** + Both are home-directory files, configured per developer, and neither ever + arrives by pull request. A check that implied otherwise would be worse than + one that says nothing, the same reasoning Copilot's README gives for + `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json`. +- **It does not evaluate whether a context file is good.** It tells you one + changed and who changed it. Judgement is the reviewer's. +- **It is not a sandbox.** It reports composition, it does not constrain + execution. +- **It emits no signed record.** Same reasoning as Copilot: a repository + cannot know which model backs a given Gemini CLI session, since that is a + session-time choice, not fixed by anything in the repository.

From ea81b1522d85f35a3f282b01cd1a21e007dd5064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: oluwajuwon omotayo Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 11:22:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fix(cursor): recurse .cursor/rules and measure AGENTS.md Direct confirmation against cursor.com/docs (Customize > Rules, Customize > MCP) corrected two things the earlier forum/blog-sourced research got wrong: - .cursor/rules/*.mdc was globbed one level only, based on a forum report that nested rule files were unreliable. The official docs show nested folders as an intended pattern (.cursor/rules/frontend/components.mdc, presented as normal organisation, not an edge case), so a real nested rule file was silently not tracked for drift. Now globs recursively. - AGENTS.md was missing entirely. It's one of exactly four documented Cursor rule types ("a simple alternative to .cursor/rules"), read from the project root and subdirectories, with "Nested AGENTS.md support" as a shipped improvement. Now measured anywhere in the tree, same as Copilot's engine already does for the same file. .cursorrules and the .cursor/mcp.json / ~/.cursor/mcp.json split are both confirmed accurate as originally shipped; only the citations changed from secondary-source hedging to direct doc references. .cursorrules itself does not appear in current docs at all (four rule types are listed and it isn't one of them), so its README note now says that plainly rather than repeating an unconfirmed forum deprecation claim. 28 tests now (was 24): the flipped nested-mdc assertion plus four new AGENTS.md/plain-.md-extension cases. Full repo suite still green (156 tests across all five engines), self-check baseline still passes clean.
