Generally speaking, cursor has a very good understanding of the project and knows which files need

00:07.720 --> 00:13.280
to be modified, even if our instructions are unclear or, generally speaking, a bit vague.

00:14.080 --> 00:20.120
But if you feel you need to be very specific, you can, for example, select text from a file.

00:20.120 --> 00:25.840
So if I select this text and you click here Add to chat, you can ask questions about this particular

00:25.840 --> 00:29.480
part of the text because you can see here it has been added to the context.

00:30.040 --> 00:36.000
The same goes here if you want to remove this and maybe you want to reference a file, we can do this

00:36.000 --> 00:37.520
with the At symbol.

00:37.920 --> 00:40.520
All we need to do here is use the add symbol.

00:40.520 --> 00:43.680
This can be also within a script.

00:44.160 --> 00:46.080
And we can select from here files.

00:46.640 --> 00:50.640
So if there's a specific file that you want to change or that we have a question about.

00:50.920 --> 00:55.080
But just as well we can reference something in regard to documentation.

00:55.080 --> 00:56.680
We can work with git.

00:57.120 --> 01:00.840
Maybe we have a question about past chats that are happening.

01:00.840 --> 01:03.240
They can also be things that appear in the terminal.

01:03.240 --> 01:06.880
So there are really really a lot of options that can be used for this.

01:08.120 --> 01:11.240
And also link this page with the documentation.

01:11.440 --> 01:18.200
And here you're going to get also a list of all the add symbols that are available to different options

01:18.200 --> 01:24.200
that you can use in order to interact from the terminal, and to be much more specific in regards to

01:24.240 --> 01:25.680
a specific aspect.

01:25.680 --> 01:29.040
So here we have an example and we can ask here what does.

01:29.360 --> 01:30.560
And we have a specific file.

01:30.560 --> 01:31.880
So let's recreate this.

01:31.880 --> 01:33.520
What does add.

01:34.640 --> 01:36.360
And we're going to add here file.

01:37.400 --> 01:39.880
What does this file do.

01:40.720 --> 01:42.560
And we can have a conversation about this.

01:43.160 --> 01:46.440
So this is how you can reference resources in cursor.
