Migrates all studio-related Cursor rules to Claude skills and adds a
top-level `.claude/CLAUDE.md` for project context. Docs rules left in
place.
**Decisions:**
- Only studio + testing rules migrated — docs rules intentionally left
in `.cursor/rules/docs/`
- Vitest skill already shared via symlink (`.claude/skills/vitest` →
`.agents/skills/vitest`) — nothing to migrate
- Grouped ~21 granular cursor rules into 5 new skills + 1 updated skill
by topic
- `studio-architecture` skill fully merged into `CLAUDE.md` and deleted
to avoid overlap
- Skills are self-contained (content inlined, not relying on sub-files)
since Claude reads SKILL.md first
- Skills cross-reference each other inline where relevant (e.g.
best-practices → testing, error-handling, queries)
- No `paths` frontmatter — would auto-inject full skill content on every
matching file. Current description-based matching is more selective and
token-efficient.
**Removed:**
- `.cursor/rules/studio/` (21 rule files covering architecture, best
practices, UI patterns, queries, styling, etc.)
- `.cursor/rules/testing/` (e2e-studio + unit-integration rules)
- `.cursor/rules/studio-useStaticEffectEvent.mdc`
- `.claude/skills/studio-architecture/` — fully merged into CLAUDE.md to
avoid duplication
- `.claude/skills/studio-testing/rules/` — orphaned sub-files after
inlining content into SKILL.md
**Added:**
- `.claude/CLAUDE.md` — concise monorepo overview with structure,
commands, and conventions. Absorbs studio-architecture content.
References `studio-*` skills for detail.
- `.claude/skills/studio-best-practices/` — boolean naming, component
structure, loading/error/success patterns, state management, hooks,
TypeScript conventions. Cross-references `vercel-composition-patterns`,
`studio-ui-patterns`, `studio-queries`, `studio-error-handling`, and
`studio-testing` inline where relevant.
- `.claude/skills/studio-ui-patterns/` — layout, forms, tables, charts,
empty states, navigation, cards, alerts, sheets. Grouped from ~10
separate cursor rules into one cohesive skill.
- `.claude/skills/studio-queries/` — React Query `queryOptions` pattern,
`keys.ts` structure, mutation hook template, imperative fetching.
- `.claude/skills/use-static-effect-event/` — the `useStaticEffectEvent`
hook: when to use, when not to, patterns, implementation.
**Changed:**
- `.claude/skills/studio-e2e-tests/` — renamed from `e2e-studio-tests`
for `studio-*` naming consistency. Merged race condition, waiting
strategy, test structure, assertion, and cleanup patterns from the
cursor e2e rule.
- `.claude/skills/studio-testing/` — inlined key content from sub-rule
files directly into SKILL.md so it's self-contained. Removed broken
`AGENTS.md` reference. Deleted orphaned `rules/` sub-files.
- `.claude/skills/vercel-composition-patterns/` — added note that Studio
uses React 18, so React 19 patterns should be skipped.
- `.gitignore` — added `!.claude/CLAUDE.md` exception so it's tracked.
## To test
- Open Claude Code in the repo, verify `.claude/CLAUDE.md` loads as
project context
- Ask Claude about Studio conventions and verify it references the right
skills
- Check that `studio-*` skills appear in the skill list
