cursorrules

Instructions for using Lore, a persistent memory system connected through MCP tools, during coding sessions. It stores useful context such as lessons, decisions, preferences, and session snapshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to recall related past problems, record solutions and decisions, query connected knowledge, and save a session checkpoint.
Why use it?
It helps an agent recover recent context, reuse knowledge from earlier work, and preserve important information when a session becomes large or ends.

Getting it into your agent

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

cursorrules 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Lore — Persistent Memory (MCP)

You have access to Lore, a persistent memory system, via MCP tools.

Session Start

Call recent_activity(hours=24) at the beginning of each session to load recent context.

During Work

  • Before debugging something that feels familiar: recall("describe the problem")
  • After solving a non-obvious bug: remember("problem + solution", type="lesson")
  • Key decisions or preferences: remember("what was decided", type="note")
  • Check knowledge graph: graph_query("topic") or entity_map("name")

Auto-Compaction Protection

Lore automatically snapshots your session when context grows large (30k chars). You can also manually save state: save_snapshot(content="current state summary")

Memory Types

Use type parameter with remember: lesson, fact, preference, pattern, convention, note.

Key Tools

  • recall(query) — semantic search across all memories
  • remember(content, type) — save something worth keeping
  • recent_activity(hours) — recent session context
  • save_snapshot(content) — checkpoint current state
  • topics() — browse auto-generated topic hubs
  • graph_query(query) — explore knowledge graph
  • on_this_day() — memories from this date in past years
Changes

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.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository agentkitai/lore (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 279 tokens to every session, about $0.0014 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
