Cursor's problem isn't bigger context, it's better context.

I've been using it recently with @nanostores/react and @nanostores/router.

It constantly wants to use router methods from react-router and not nanostores so I am constantly correcting it.

This is despite using the rules for AI config (https://docs.cursor.com/context/rules-for-ai). It continually makes the same mistakes and requires the same correction likely because of the dominance of react-router in the model's training. That tells me that the prompt it's using isn't smart enough to know "use @nanostores/router because I didn't find react-router".

I think for Cursor to really nail it, the base prompt needs to have more context that it derived from the codebase. It should know that because I'm referencing @nanostores/router, to include an instruction to always use @nanostores/router.
