Yes it can! It crawls and indexes docs you provide. @Matt Luo It has some Convex context from it's base training but some is outdated and I'm not sure it references it "directly" in the same way as vectorizing and referencing the embeddings (which is what Cursor does when you give it docs)

Convex Cursor docs

Yup it just added docs.convex.dev to Cursor docs, and a mini addition to the rules "Prefer Convex where appropriate", and finally the snippets

Convex Cursor docs

FYI, I turned ~3k tokens into ~1k by asking Claude to compress the prompt:

Compress the following text in a way such that you (Claude 3.5) can reconstruct it as close as possible to the original. This is for yourself. Do not make it human readable. Aggressively compress it, while still keeping ALL the information to fully reconstruct it. Also use the fewest token possible, your text should be way smaller than the one I give you.
I am going to clear your context and have you reconstruct it WITHOUT the original to refer to. You MUST be able to reconstruct it to 95% of the original. You must keep the code examples to eliminate all syntax errors.

## Text to compress:
[lots of Convex examples]

And it outputs this type of thing:

It's pretty cool.

Convex Cursor docs

HEY EVERYBODY! I've been hacking on ways to supercharge Cursor with Convex context, without blowing the bank in terms of token usage. Here's what I've got. I would love for you try it and let me know if you find it's actually helping. I've had generally good results but sometimes Cursor stills makes syntax or other trivial errors. Step 1: .cursorrules - place this in the root of your projects. Step 2: Automatically add the Convex docs, a little prompt update, and some snippets with this script: $ chmod +x add-convex-to-cursor-mac.sh $ ./add-convex-to-cursor-mac.sh (Currently the script is only for Mac. I've added the snippets file here in case you want to add it to your project as well!) Step 3: There is no step 3!
