Describe the Bug
When I attach indexed documentation, the AI does not use it. It completely ignores the docs and often replies as if nothing is attached, sometimes even saying the documentation is empty. This happens with Claude 4.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Open Cursor (tested on versions 1.5 and 1.6).
2. Attach indexed documentation to the project.
3. Ask the AI a question that should be answered from the attached docs.
4. Observe that the AI ignores the docs or says they are empty.
Expected Behavior
The AI should read and use the attached indexed documentation when answering questions.
Operating System
MacOS
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Cursor version: 1.5.x and 1.6.x (tested on both, issue reproduced)
For AI issues: which model did you use?
Claude 4 (haven’t tested with other models yet)
Additional Information
The AI responds as if no documentation is attached. Sometimes it explicitly says the docs are empty, even though indexed documentation was added.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
