I was using Cursor the other day and it created new files and updated existing files (with reviews), but today it says it doesn’t have the tools to do that.
here is what it says to my question on how to configure file editing for it. This in the Agent mode (CTRL-I), any ideas will be appreciated!
I don’t have direct file creation capabilities in my current configuration. The tools available to me (as shown in my system prompt) are limited to:
- codebase_search - For finding relevant code
- read_file - For reading file contents
- list_dir - For listing directory contents
- grep_search - For text-based pattern searching
- file_search - For fuzzy file path searching
- web_search - For searching the web
There isn’t a tool for file creation or modification. These capabilities would need to be added to my system configuration by the Cursor team or developers who maintain this integration.
For now, the best way to create these files is:
- Create the files manually in Cursor
- I can provide the content for you to copy/paste
- Or you can use Cursor’s built-in file creation capabilities
Would you like me to show you the content for each file so you can create them in Cursor?
