Cursor ignoring .cursorrules

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue - agents sometimes ignore .cursorrules, even when the file is small.

To pass this to the engineers with context, I need a couple of details:

  • Request ID from the chat where the rules were ignored: Chat menu (three dots in the top right) > Copy Request ID
  • Which mode this happens in - Ask, or Agent?
  • Which model you’re using - Auto, or a specific one?

Can you share the Request ID when you get a chance? It’ll help the team figure out the pattern.
