What will happen first, AGI or Cursor successfully invoking your project’s correct environment? I think I use a very standard Python project setup. I have a virtualenv under .venv/in the project root dir. I have a straightforward uvbased project. In the editor settings (F1), choosing Python: Select Interpreter to the local venv has no effect on agent. Okay, but that could’ve been nice if agent got the memo. I have a AGENTS.md explaining my straightforward setup and telling that the local …

Venv often not triggered

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug Agents needing to run the app being developed frequently generate shell commands that don’t activate the venv programmatically known to the procedural environment and which also SHOULD be known to the AI environment, given the AIs have noticed many times previously the venv had to be activated to correct errors in the commands. This results in many unecessary tool use turns in the agentic flow, as python invocations fail a…
