Describe the Bug
To test out the Cursor Slack integration, I asked it to update the date on a LICENSE file. It hesitated to make the change because the LLM context seems to be missing the current date.
Steps to Reproduce
- Ask Cursor Background Agent Slack bot to make a year-dependent change
Expected Behavior
Cursor’s context is aware that it is currently 2025 not 2024.

Additional Information
AFAIK, there are some existing threads about the current date not being injected in context, but I figured it might still be worth reporting this one.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
