Commands are not detected in the global cursor directory

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a bug, ~/.cursor/commands should work. I’ll pass it to the team.

A couple quick clarifications for the report:

  1. Can you share the folder structure of ~/.cursor/commands/? Are the files .md?
  2. After moving the file, did you restart Cursor?

On the second question, no, Commands in Cursor aren’t deprecated. Commands and Skills are different things:

  • Commands: repeatable workflows, triggered via / in chat, stable
  • Skills: portable knowledge packages for the agent

More on the difference: Skills vs. Commands [vs. Rules]

For now, the workaround is to keep commands at the project level in .cursor/commands/.
