Cursor Agent History Tracking System

Overview

A simple system to maintain context and track changes in conversations with Cursor when it's in AGENT mode, ensuring continuity even if the AI 'forgets' previous interactions. This workaround isn't necessary for regular chat mode, as Cursor implements native tracking.

Quick Start

1. Copy all .md files from the templates directory into your project's root directory:

   • CHANGELOG.md
   • PROJECT_SCOPE.md
   • PROMPT.md

2. Begin every new chat with the AI by copying the contents of PROMPT.md

   • This ensures the AI has proper context about your project
   • The AI will maintain consistent formatting for changes
   • Track all significant changes in CHANGELOG.md
   • Keep PROJECT_SCOPE.md updated with current status

File Purposes

• PROMPT.md: Your template for starting each new chat session
• CHANGELOG.md: Tracks all significant changes to your project
• PROJECT_SCOPE.md: Maintains current project status and goals

Best Practices

1. Always start new chats with the PROMPT.md template (this means every time you click the + symbol)
2. Update CHANGELOG.md after significant changes
3. Keep PROJECT_SCOPE.md current
4. Include relevant file paths in your prompts
5. Save important code snippets and explanations

Template Maintenance

Feel free to modify the templates to better suit your specific needs while maintaining the core structure for consistency.
