Hey, thanks for the report. Custom Modes were intentionally removed in Cursor 2.1. There’s a detailed discussion about this here: Custom Modes missing in Cursor 2.1.0 (VSCode 1.105.1)
According to the staff responses in that thread, Custom Instructions from Custom Modes can be moved into Commands (similar functionality but a different workflow). You can find more details about this transition in that discussion.
It would also really help if you could share:
- How you were using custom modes in your workflow (what did they do for you?)
- Which part of custom modes was most critical for your work?
This will help us better understand your use case and suggest the closest alternatives.
