Forge DevKit vs Cursor Rules
Cursor Rules give your AI a static cheat sheet. Forge gives it a full architecture audit.
| Dimension | Cursor Rules | Forge DevKit |
|---|---|---|
| Rule creation | Manual or template generator | Auto-generated from 7-gate architecture audit |
| Architecture awareness | None — you specify stack manually | Detects stack, layers, patterns (DDD, CQRS, Clean Architecture) |
| Scope | Single rules file | Full pipeline: rules + product specs + tests + task management |
| Updates | Manual maintenance when codebase changes | Upgrade command regenerates from current architecture |
| Platform | Cursor only | Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, any AI agent |
Cursor Rules are a good start for simple projects. Forge DevKit is for teams that need architecture awareness, test traceability, and a full development pipeline — across any AI platform.
