COPY and PASTE this instruction message and give to your Cursor agent to help you recover lost chat history:

"Please help me recover lost chat history from Cursor’s workspace storage. This is a two-step process:

  1. First, create a Python script called export_chats.py that can search through SQLite databases in the workspace storage directory (on Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage , each containing a state.vscdb file). The script should search through chat data for specific time periods and keywords related to the lost content.
  2. Then, create a Node.js script called clean_history.js that processes the exported chat history. This script should:
    • Filter conversations based on project-specific keywords
  • Clean up markdown formatting
  • Remove irrelevant content
  • Output cleaned history files for each team We’ll need to make multiple search passes with export_chats.py , refining the parameters each time to filter out noise and focus on relevant conversations. Once we have the raw chat data, we’ll use clean_history.js to organize and clean it. When we find matching content, help me reconstruct the code and implementation details from the chat fragments. Please guide me through this process step by step, starting with creating both scripts and then helping me search effectively by suggesting relevant search terms and filtering strategies based on what I’m trying to recover. Remember that chat history might contain code snippets, implementation discussions, and debugging sessions that can help piece together the lost work."
  • Cursor will find and translate
