    "description": "Cursor's knowledge fabric combines project-level rule files (.cursorrules,\n.cursor/rules/) with whole-codebase semantic indexing. The .cursorrules file\nand the rules directory provide persistent project-specific instructions\nakin to CLAUDE.md. Cursor also indexes the entire codebase into a vector\nstore for semantic code search, enabling RAG-style retrieval of relevant\ncode snippets and documentation during conversations. Context pinning (@-mentions)\nlets users manually anchor specific files, docs, or web pages as knowledge sources.\n",

AGENTS.md support was\nadded in >=0.40.0 for cross-agent compatibility.\n"
