Gist as custom docs

[V4rn0]

Hello there,

Since I don’t know if it’s a bug or a misuse from me, I’m posting it here.

I’m trying to add custom docs to my Cursor. So I’ve created Gist and I’ve copied/pasted the https clone url into the Docs. It’s basically a small .md file (47 lines) with instructions on how to generate commit messages.
As it was taking a long time to index, I’ve looked at what was indexed and it appeared that a lot of other Gist were indexed and probably not even mine.

Am I doing something wrong here ?

As I can’t post more than one media per post, here’s the screenshot of the unknown indexed Gist

Hey, open the file in raw format, copy the link, and add it to Cursor. This should work.

Hey, thanks.
I did that and it works now as expected. But still, that a strange behaviour that all those gists were indexed.

It’s due to the prefix being set as it was in your first screenshot.

The scraper would see links to other Gists as it scraped yours, and your prefix setting didn’t stop it from looking at other Gists, hence it scraped more - it’s possible it could’ve gone on for a while!
