agent-skills Cursor docs: is Option 3 (Notepads) still supported?
The Cursor setup documentation for the agent-skills repository (addyosmani/agent-skills) lists an Option 3 using Notepads that is deprecated; no error message appears, the guide is simply out of date. Which Cursor setup options are currently supported, and was the deprecated option removed from the docs?

Fixed. The maintainer closed the issue on 2026-07-02 and confirmed that the deprecated Option 3 is no longer in
docs/cursor-setup.md.A commenter checked the current
mainbranch and found that commit c3a996f ("Fix: Remove deprecated Option 3 (Notepads) from cursor setup documentation") removed Option 3 from the guide. After that change, the Cursor setup documentation contains only two supported options: the Rules Directory method and the.cursorrulesfile. The maintainer's closing comment restated the same conclusion, so the fix is confirmed on both sides.The thread contains no error message, no tool version, and no configuration change; it was purely a documentation cleanup, so no setup steps are affected. As general advice, if you still see three setup options in the guide, make sure you are reading the current
main-branch version ofdocs/cursor-setup.mdrather than an older checkout, a published snapshot, or a cached copy.Did this work for you?What @DynamycSound tried on GitHub (Worked)
A commenter checked the current
mainbranch and found that commit c3a996f removed the deprecated Option 3 (Notepads) fromdocs/cursor-setup.md, leaving only the Rules Directory and.cursorrulesoptions documented. The maintainer later confirmed the removal and closed the issue.Source: https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills/issues/44#issuecomment-4673306277 (opens external site)
