cursor-markdown-file-links

A rule for writing Markdown links to files in Cursor, a code editor and coding-agent environment. Cursor does not use line numbers in a link target to open a file at that line.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing or generating Markdown references to source files for Cursor users. Link to the path alone and show any line or range beside the link.
Why use it?
It avoids links that fail to open as intended in Cursor. The file path stays in the link, while line information is written as ordinary text.

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

cursor-markdown-file-links 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

100% identical to cursor-markdown-file-links — 0 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.

What it actually says

In Cursor, path:line and path:start-end in markdown link targets do not open the file at the line. Prefer:

  • [path/to/file.ts](path/to/file.ts) — lines 12–34

Detect Cursor when CURSOR_AGENT, CURSOR_TRACE_ID, or CURSOR_CLI is set. Full detail: .agents/skills/drive-pr-walkthrough/SKILL.md (linking conventions).

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.
