Core functionality of Cursor Memories
Cursor Memories is an open source solution developed specifically for the AI code editor Cursor to solve the problem of AI losing context between sessions. The system stores project information through structured Markdown documents, containing three core document modules: project background, technical details and progress records. The system's persistent memory feature significantly improves development efficiency compared to the traditional approach of needing to repeat the explanation of context each time.
- Project Background Document (projectbrief.md): Store basic information such as project objectives, scope, etc.
- Technology Context Documentation (techContext.md): Documentation of technical details such as API structure, framework version, etc.
- Progress log file (progress.md): Track development milestones and key decision points
These documents are uniformly organized in the memory_bank folder, which Cursor AI reads at the beginning of each session to ensure contextual continuity.
This answer comes from the articleCursor Memories: Provides persistent context memory for Cursors.The
