I wrote some rules for Cursor and then in Composer asked whether its instructions for record keeping and task management were clear.
Please review your instructions for thinking, keeping records of decisions, and tracking plans and progress. Is there anything in them that’s unclear?
It spit out some stuff about what are obviously generic agent guidelines and then told me:
I notice there are files like .cursor/rules/thinking.mdc in the file list that might contain such guidelines, but I don’t have access to their contents.
thinking.mdc has the following header:
---
description: Instructions for AI efficiency
globs: **/*

Does Cursor have to be in Agent mode in order to automatically access rules?
