description: Do not use ripgrep (rg) in shell commands or scripts
alwaysApply: true

# Never use `rg`

Do **not** run `rg` / ripgrep in terminal commands. It is unreliable in this environment.

## Use instead

- **Cursor Grep tool** — preferred for searching the codebase
- **`grep -r`** — if a shell search is truly needed
- **Glob / SemanticSearch** — for finding files or concepts

```bash
# ❌ BAD
rg "probeCurrentServer" app/shared

# ✅ GOOD — use the Grep tool, or:
grep -r "probeCurrentServer" app/shared
```
