feat: Multi-Platform Support - Cursor & Codex #2

Description

The Ask

"Can OwnYourCode work with Cursor?"
— Actual user request

OwnYourCode currently targets Claude Code specifically. Developers use other agentic tools and shouldn't be locked out.


Target Platforms (Phase 1)

Platform Type Why First
Cursor AI-native IDE Massive adoption, has rules system
Codex (OpenAI) CLI/API agent Growing ecosystem, different architecture

Research Phase (Before Implementation)

We need to understand how similar projects implement cross-platform support.

Research Tasks

  • Cursor: How do .cursorrules and project-level rules work?
  • Cursor: Find 3-5 repos with sophisticated Cursor rules and analyze patterns
  • Codex: What's the instruction/customization format?
  • Codex: How do other projects inject methodology into Codex?
  • Cross-platform projects: Find projects that support BOTH Claude Code AND Cursor, study their approach
  • File format mapping: CLAUDE.md → .cursorrules → Codex equivalent

Research Output

A document answering:

  1. What's the instruction format for each platform?
  2. What features translate across platforms? What doesn't?
  3. What's the recommended architecture for multi-platform support?

Implementation (After Research)

Proposed Approach

# User chooses platform during install
~/ownyourcode/scripts/project-install.sh --platform cursor
~/ownyourcode/scripts/project-install.sh --platform codex
~/ownyourcode/scripts/project-install.sh --platform claude  # default

Generates platform-appropriate files from same core methodology.


Community Help Wanted

Do you use Cursor or Codex? We need:

  1. How custom instructions work on your platform
  2. Example of a working instruction file
  3. Links to projects with good platform-specific setups
