### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor CLI ### Describe the Bug I noticed on two completely different chat sessions the previous sent chat message history in the input section gets mixed up all together, when i click arrow up to see the last sent message from one chat i see the exact message i just sent on the other chat whch is running in a different project and a different terminal session. ### Steps to Reproduce Start an `agent` session in the terminal send a `message a`, open another terminal start agent session just click arrow up now you will see the previous message u just sent from the other terminal agent session instead of it being completely isolated and each chat having its own history ### Expected Behavior each chat messages history is meant to be isolated and have its own chat history and when i send a message in a chat i expect only those messages to be in its “previously sent” history, is this a feature?? if it is please share anywhere in the config that i can turn this off ### Screenshots / Screen Recordings ![Screenshot 2026-05-26 110839.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/e/8/e89c27a3983a1a1099c379c214123de785f81ea5.png) then opening a seperate terminal and just click Arrow key Up; this happens eevn if chat session has been on going and i just opened a new one and send a bunch of messages, when i come back to the existing chat history and click up i see the exact message from the new agent session ![Screenshot 2026-05-26 110912](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/e/7/e7d68b4db7b485f674891d804921a6f93e775ac0.png) ### Operating System Linux ### Version Information About Cursor CLI CLI Version 2026.05.24-dda726e Model Composer 2.5 Fast Subscription Tier Pro OS linux (x64) Terminal vscode Shell bash ### For AI issues: which model did you use?

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. This isn’t a bug, it’s the current behavior by design. Prompt history in the CLI arrow-up is stored in one global file and shared across all `cursor-agent` sessions, similar to how shell history works in bash or zsh. It’s one MRU list per user, not tied to a project or a session. If you want to view or clear the file: - Linux: `~/.config/cursor/prompt_history.json` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cursor/prompt_history.json`) - macOS: `~/.cursor/prompt_history.json` - Windows: `%APPDATA%\Cursor\prompt_history.json` There’s no option yet to disable it or keep it per-session. If isolation per-project or per-session matters to you, please file a feature request in Feature Requests. I’ll pass it to the CLI team as a signal. I’ll also attach your report to our internal thread about improving CLI navigation. ---

Thanks, i have dropped a Feature Request report > [@Separate per-chat message history for the agent CLI](https://forum.cursor.com/t/separate-per-chat-message-history-for-the-agent-cli/161600): > > Feature request for product/service Cursor CLI Describe the request Would appreciate a per chat/agent session chat message history, instead of the currently unified history where all agent sessions/chats regardless of project/terminal session gets the same previously sent messages in the input when u try to use arrow up or down to see previous messages Screenshot / Screen Recording Operating System (if it applies) Linux ---
