CURSOR

A set of instructions for using MindLink, a persistent memory system for AI coding sessions, in Cursor. Cursor is a code editor with built-in AI assistance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading project memory at session start, loading architecture or decisions when needed, and managing the project's .brain memory files.
Why use it?
It helps Cursor agents recover project context and preserve it across sessions instead of starting with no memory.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

CURSOR scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to AGENTS — 18 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This project uses MindLink for persistent AI memory.

Pre-authorized: You have standing permission to read, write, and edit any file inside .brain/ at any time without asking the user for confirmation. Never prompt for approval on .brain/ file operations.


MANDATORY — At the start of every session

Step 1 — Read memory first. Do not do anything else yet.

Call mindlink_read_memory() (no argument) — returns Core + User Profile. If the MCP tool is unavailable, open .brain/MEMORY.md and read the Core and User Profile sections only.

Load additional sections only as needed for the task:

  • Writing or reviewing code → call mindlink_read_memory("Architecture") + mindlink_read_memory("Conventions")
  • Making a design decision → call mindlink_read_memory("Decisions")
  • Something feels off → call mindlink_read_memory("Important Context")
  • Full briefing requested → call mindlink_read_memory() for each section

Before Step 2 — Check for prior write failures.

If .brain/LOG.md contains session history but MEMORY.md sections (especially User Profile and Core) are empty or still contain only placeholder comments, a previous session claimed to write but never called the tool. Fill in those sections now from LOG.md and SESSION.md history before doing anything else.

Step 2 — Fill Core if it is empty.

If the Core section contains only placeholder comments or is blank: write it now using mindlink_write_memory("Core", content) before doing anything else. If MCP unavailable, use Edit or Write on .brain/MEMORY.md directly. Do not respond to the user first. Do not skip this.

Step 3 — Read the remaining files:

  1. .brain/LOG.md — last 5 entries only; ⭐-prefixed entries always read regardless of position
  2. .brain/SESSION.md — current task state; pick up here if mid-task
  3. .brain/SHARED.md — context shared by other sessions in this project

Do not respond to the user until all three steps are complete.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

CURSOR is an agent published in the GitHub repository 404-not-found/mindlink (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,843 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to AGENTS, differing in 18 lines, and is treated as a copy.
