My AI audit tool was merging Claude and Cursor sessions. The bug was one UNIQUE constraint.
I maintain Chron, an MCP server that writes an audit log of AI coding sessions to a local SQLite database. Every message gets a timestamp, and every session records which tool produced it: Claude, Cursor, Codex. A while back I opened the history and found Claude messages and Cursor messages interleaved inside a single session. Two different tools, two different terminals, one session record. For a tool whose entire job is attribution, that is about as bad as a bug gets. The setup The sessions table looked like this: When a tool starts work it calls with a title and its own . If a session with that title already exists, resume it. Otherwise create a new one. Both Claude and Cursor generate a short descriptive title from the task. Working in the same repo on the same task, they generate the...

Cursor Rules: How to Stop Your AI Agent From Writing Slop
You just installed Cursor, opened a TypeScript file, and asked the agent to fix a bug. Ten seconds later it handed you a and a above the line that wouldn't compile. This is the moment most developers discover that AI coding agents are powerful but undisciplined. The fix isn't a better model. It's rules. Most AI coding agent best practices boil down to a single idea: tell the agent what good looks like before it starts typing. Cursor lets you define rules files in that load alongside your project context and tell the agent how to behave. Claude Code has its own rules system, Windsurf has a rules directory, Copilot reads . Learn to configure cursor rules properly and your agent starts behaving like a careful senior engineer instead of an eager intern. What cursor rules files are Cursor...
