 <h3>Rules support dropped in favor of Skills</h3>
 <p>It is a bit weird to explain that the project is named <code>Cursor rules for Java</code>, but one of the changes in this minor release is to drop support for Rules.</p>
 <p><strong>Why were Cursor rules dropped?</strong></p>
-<p>Until this release, the project maintained 3 very different deliverables:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Rules</li>
-<li>Skills</li>
-<li>Agents</li>
-</ul>
-<p><code>Rules</code> and <code>Skills</code> both guide model behaviour in broadly similar ways, but Rules were Cursor’s approach while <code>Skills</code> have recently become the standard, so consolidating on a single solution makes more sense. <strong>On the other hand</strong>, maintaining a single generator (<code>skills-generator</code>) made it possible to improve how skills are packaged, which was somewhat constrained when both <code>rules-generator</code> and <code>skills-generator</code> existed.</p>

+<p>If you followed the various ADRs published at <a href="https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-java/tree/main/documentation/adr">https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-java/tree/main/documentation/adr</a>, you may recall that when more than 10 rules were active in memory, Cursor (and similar tools at the time) did not run reliably, and you could hit the following issue:</p>
+<p><img src="/cursor-rules-java/images/2026/4/your-message-is-too-long.png" alt="" /></p>
+<p>If you are interested in this issue with older models, you can review it here: <a href="https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-sandbox/blob/main/docs/message-too-long.md">https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-sandbox/blob/main/docs/message-too-long.md</a></p>
+<p>So we changed the metadata included in the <code>System prompts/Rules</code> to address that issue and to use the rules in a manual workflow, as described here: <a href="https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-java/blob/main/documentation/adr/ADR-002-configure-cursor-rules-manual-scope.md">https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-java/blob/main/documentation/adr/ADR-002-configure-cursor-rules-manual-scope.md</a></p>
+<p>Users could still use the <code>System prompts/Rules</code> in this way:</p>
+<p><img src="/cursor-rules-java/images/2026/4/manual-trigger.png" alt="" /></p>
+<p>But now you can do the same with Skills. You can add the Skill you want to the context explicitly, or leave it to the AI tool to use or skip depending on the context—so you can achieve the same outcomes with Skills as you could with system prompts in the past.</p>
+<p>On the main branch, a few resources about <code>System-prompts/rules</code> remain:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>All rules from v0.13.0: <a href="https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-java/tree/main/.cursor/rules">https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-java/tree/main/.cursor/rules</a></li>

+</ul>
+<p>That usage is <code>deprecated</code> in favor of <code>Skills</code> and will be removed in the coming months; the recommendation is to review <a href="https://github.com/jabrena/cursor-rules-java?tab=readme-ov-file#deliverables">the new documentation</a> and adapt.</p>
