Cursor version: 0.50.4
we’re using the new .mdc rules under .cursor/rules which looks like this
---
description:
globs:
alwaysApply: true
---
<rule content>
as i understand it, this rule should be applied automatically in every chat.
what i found out is that:
- it doesn’t get applied, ever
- when directly referenced in the chat as @rule.mdc, its content doesn’t get inlined as other files. instead the LLM has to search for it using the (incorrect) file name “@rule.mdc” and more often than not, it couldn’t find it.
- there seems to be something special about the mdc files since change it to .md fixed the inlining issue.
so my question is, are rules completely broken in cursor?
