Local slash commands (.cursor/commands) not working in Cursor Cloud

[kaito2]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

Describe the Bug

I’m experiencing an issue where local slash commands defined in the .cursor/commands directory work perfectly in the desktop Cursor app, but fail to load in Cursor Cloud when accessing the same GitHub repository.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a .cursor/commands directory in the project root
2. Add .md files with custom commands (e.g., code-review.md, test.md)
3. Open the project in desktop Cursor → slash commands work correctly
4. Open the same repository in Cursor Cloud (web/mobile) → slash commands not found
5. Error message displayed: “Unable to load team commands”

Expected Behavior

Local slash commands stored in .cursor/commands should be available in Cursor Cloud, just like they are in the desktop app, since the directory is committed to the repository.

Actual Behavior

• Cursor Cloud shows “Unable to load team commands” error
• No slash commands are displayed when typing / in the chat input
• Only team commands (if any) seem to be supported

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a limitation: Cloud Agent may not currently support local slash commands from .cursor/commands in the repository.

The error message “Unable to load team commands” suggests that Cloud Agent is looking for team-level commands configured from the Cursor dashboard, rather than local repository commands.

I’ll pass this to the team so they can investigate. As a workaround, you can:

• Use the desktop Cursor app for workflows that need these custom commands
• If you’re on a Team or Enterprise plan, set up Team Commands from the dashboard
