VerifyThink vs Cursor Rules only
Cursor Rules (.mdc) are essential — but they are instructions, not a structured reasoning engine. VerifyThink adds an enforceable plan→verify loop via MCP.
| Cursor Rules | VerifyThink MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| Planning state | Text in chat (optional) | reason_plan artifact + taskId |
| Verification | Agent may skip | reason_verify against DoD |
| Improving over time | Doesn’t learn from your tasks | reason_feedback + experience |
| Together | Best practice: VerifyThink.mdc rule + MCP — rules trigger tools, MCP executes the loop. | |
