What happens when plan file is saved

the new plan mode creates an md file with description and there are couple of things:
first, when i hit build within the md file, agent says he does not see the plan, i must click the “build” within the chat window
second, what happens when i save the plan.md file? i did it and cant find it anywhere.

any info?

Hi, thanks for trying out the plan mode beta! Plans are ephemeral by default, and are not saved to a file unless you click the “save to workspace” button at the top right of the chat bubble. It will then be saved as markdown to the .cursor/plans folder in your workspace.

As for the agent not being able to read your plan, sounds like you may be on an earlier client version! There was a bug there that was fixed, let me know if the issue persists after updating.

Feel free to leave any additional feedback you have on the feature here!

Does not work for me, running Cursor version 1.7.44 :

  • Plan .md file is blank in Agent Window’s Files panel
  • “Save to Workspace” opens another completely blank file (this time with a UUID in the filename)
  • Can’t find the .md file anywhere in my workspace

I have to ask the Agent to quote the entire plan for me in the chat pane, as that’s the only place I can see it. First time I’ve tried this mode, buggy from the get-go.

Hey @RRoehl apologies for the very slow reply, missed this message! On 2.0 have you been continuing to see these issues?

Thanks for checking in Jai, this no longer happens with Cursor 2.0.
