Cursor Agent cannot see CSV, PDF, SVG, or image files in the project

@-mentioning a .csv or .svg file finds nothing

Verified 2026-10-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100

Cause

On top of .gitignore and .cursorignore, Cursor applies a built-in ignore list that includes *.csv, *.pdf, *.svg, common image, audio, video, and archive types, lock files, and folders such as node_modules and .venv.

Fix

Re-include the files Agent needs with a ! pattern in .cursorignore.

Apply

# .cursorignore
!*.csv
!assets/**/*.svg

Affects: Cursor editor, as of 2026-10
