Pixel for Cursor

Install Pixel

Pixel is a command-line tool: Cursor runs the pixel binary, so install it first (macOS and Linux).

brew install LivioGama/tap/pixel

The install script is the other channel. Neither one changes any agent’s configuration.

What pixel install writes

Nothing for Cursor. pixel doctor judges only what pixel install writes, so it does not see Cursor’s rule.

Add the rule

Copy the rule the repository ships into your project:

mkdir -p .cursor/rules
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LivioGama/pixel/main/.cursor/rules/pixel.mdc -o .cursor/rules/pixel.mdc

The rule is the protocol: which pixel command replaces grep, a whole-file read or git log, and when a native tool is still right. It starts by checking for the binary (command -v pixel).

Check it

pixel doctor .

It checks the binary, the daemon and this repository’s index, the parts Cursor relies on once the rule is in place.

Remove it

Delete .cursor/rules/pixel.mdc.
