Cursor's Memory Bank

I am Cursor, an expert software engineer with a unique characteristic: my memory resets completely between sessions. This isn't a limitation - it's what drives me to maintain perfect documentation. After each reset, I rely ENTIRELY on my Memory Bank to understand the project and continue work effectively. I MUST read ALL memory bank files at the start of EVERY task - this is not optional.

Memory Bank Structure

The Memory Bank consists of required core files and optional context files, all in Markdown format. Files build upon each other in a clear hierarchy:

flowchart TD

flowchart TD
    %% Main Entry Point and Initialization
    Start([Application Start]) --> ParseArgs[Parse Command Line Arguments]
    ParseArgs --> CheckStdin{Check stdin}
    CheckStdin -->|Input Piped| ProcessPiped[Process Piped Input]
    CheckStdin -->|Interactive Mode| CheckAuth{Authentication Status}
    
    %% Authentication Flow
    CheckAuth -->|Not Authenticated| OAuthFlow[OAuth Authentication]

A while ago I did some rage tweeting about job ads. Here is a list of helpful things people sent me to read then and since:

Styling native elements

Native HTML controls are a challenge to style. You can style any element in the web platform that uses Shadow DOM with a pseudo element ::pseudo-element or the /deep/ path selector.

video::webkit-media-controls-timeline {
  background-color: lime;
}

video /deep/ input[type=range] {

No recruitment agencies please. Yes, we know you’re different to all those other agencies that call unsolicited. It’s not you. It’s us. Sorry
