Context Engineering in Cursor

How the 1% use @files and codebase context to get perfect output.

Lesson Notes

Context is everything in AI coding. Cursor lets you use @filename, @folder, @docs, and @web to inject specific context into any prompt. The more relevant context you give, the less the AI hallucinates. Pro tip: instead of asking "fix my auth", say "looking at @auth.ts and @middleware.ts, why is the session not persisting after login?"

In a Cursor chat, use the @ symbol to pull in 2-3 specific files as context. Ask it to explain how those files interact with each other. Then ask it to make a change that spans all of them.
