Outdated Gitlab CI Docs

[fcharron]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The included Gitlab CI Docs is outdated. I confirmed this by searching specifically for the inputs keyword and telling the model to limit its search to “@Gitlab CI”, and it confirmed it couldn’t find anything about it.

This feature dates back to many releases, and the outdated docs make my queries and edits repeatedly wrong (suggesting my syntax is wrong, or assuming I’m using pipeline variables), and forces me to add rules and/or memories to correct it and make it to search on the web (and waste tokens).

Steps to Reproduce

Ask a model for information about inputs using only “@Gitlab CI” as a source (see attached image).

Expected Behavior

It should give me up to date information instead of not knowing it exists.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. You’re right, the inputs keyword is a documented GitLab CI feature and should be included in the @GitLab CI docs context.

Since users can’t manually update @Docs sources (Cursor maintains these), I’ll pass this to the team to update the GitLab CI docs index.

In the meantime, you can manually add the latest docs as a workaround to get the most up-to-date GitLab CI information.
