I’m looking for a way to create a persistent context file that Cursor AI can reference when working in my repository - similar to how README.md provides context for human developers. Currently, I find myself repeatedly copying and pasting code snippets to help Cursor understand my project’s context.
Specifically, I’d like to create a file that contains:
- Instructions for code generation patterns
- Database connection patterns and configurations
- Information about which styling libraries we use
- Other project-specific conventions
Is there a recommended way to create such a file that Cursor AI will automatically reference when working in the repository? This would help maintain consistency and reduce the need for repetitive context-sharing.
