Cursor Memory
Cursor project memory that stays local and reviewable.
Memory complements Cursor rules by keeping instructions compact and storing evolving project facts in local project memory that agents can load before work.
What this solves.
Rules stay small Keep Cursor rules focused on how to use memory.
Generated guidance tells the agent when to load and save Memory, while project-specific facts live in `.memory/` instead of growing stale inside a rules file.
Local project context Retrieve decisions and conventions only when relevant.
Memory helps Cursor sessions load the product intent, architecture, setup steps, and known traps that match the task at hand.
Cross-tool continuity Share durable context with other coding agents.
The same project memory can support Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Cline, OpenCode, and MCP-capable clients without duplicating facts across tools.
