GOAL

Investigate whether Cursor has a built-in or documented way to export agent traces/transcripts to Hugging Face, and figure out where traces are stored locally.

  1. Prompt · +0
    Search Cursor's local skills, docs, and rules for any documented workflow to save/export Cursor agent traces to Hugging Face; report whether it exists and where traces are stored locally.
  2. Agent did · +0m
    Fetched Cursor's public docs (llms.txt, shared-transcripts, hooks, privacy, SDK, CLI headless, agent overview) looking for HF integration mentions.
  3. Agent did · +0m
    Grepped and globbed through ~/.cursor/skills-cursor, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.cursor/rules, and project transcript files for keywords like huggingface, hf, dataset, export, transcript.
  4. Agent did · +0m
    Read specific local files including an agent-tools transcript log, canvas SDK hooks, statusline and create-hook SKILL.md files, and a JSONL agent-transcript sample, checking for HF or export references.
  5. Outcome · +0m
    Concluded Cursor has no built-in or documented Hugging Face trace export feature; agent transcripts are stored locally as JSONL under ~/.cursor/projects/<workspace>/agent-transcripts, with Shared Transcripts and Hooks/CLI as the closest existing export mechanisms.
VERDICT

I'd start by just asking for the JSONL transcript file path directly since that's really what I needed, instead of having the agent re-derive it through dozens of greps and doc fetches. Nothing here needed correcting — it was a pure research task and the agent converged on the right answer (no built-in HF export) on its own by exhaustively checking docs and local files.
