  • .cursor/ directory → cursor
  • .continue/ directory → continue
  • .windsurf/ directory → windsurf
  • .agents/ directory → agents.md

​
File Installation Paths

Each format has a standard installation path:
FormatDirectoryExample
claude.claude/agents/ or .claude/skills/.claude/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md
cursor.cursor/rules/.cursor/rules/typescript.mdc
continue.continue/prompts/.continue/prompts/refactor.md
windsurf.windsurf/rules/.windsurf/rules/python.md
agents.md.agents/.agents/code-reviewer.md

Multi-Format Packages

Some packages support multiple formats. PRPM will install the appropriate version based on your environment: 
{
  "name": "@username/typescript-rules",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "files": [
    {
      "path": ".cursor/rules/typescript.mdc",
      "format": "cursor"
    },
    {
      "path": ".windsurf/rules/typescript.md",
