Does RunTrim work with Cursor?
Yes. Run runtrim start to set up your project, then runtrim agent "your task" --copy to get a scoped prompt. Paste it into Cursor and run runtrim finish after.
Cursor workflow
Cursor context limit? Continue the run without restarting.
Cursor AI hits context boundaries during long tasks. RunTrim keeps current state, missing proof, and the next safe action ready for the next session.

01 / The problem
What goes wrong
- Context limits stop Cursor mid-task, often during multi-file changes.
- The next session starts without any verified record of what changed.
- Teams spend time reconstructing intent from chat history and terminal output.
02 / Root cause
Why this happens
- Cursor optimizes for conversation flow, not durable run state.
- Context windows are finite and long tasks cross session boundaries.
- Manual notes written under time pressure miss critical verification state.
03 / Without RunTrim
Manual workaround
- 1Scan Cursor chat history to reconstruct what was completed.
- 2Manually identify changed files and unfinished steps.
- 3Write a new prompt from memory hoping the next session stays on track.
04 / With RunTrim

local
$runtrim start
$runtrim agent "your task" --copy
$runtrim finish
$runtrim continue --reason usage_limit
Privacy and trust
- Source code stays local. RunTrim never uploads it.
- No account required for the free CLI.
- RunTrim tracks run metadata, generated prompts, changed file paths, and local memory.
- Cloud sync is optional and metadata-only.
05 / FAQ
Common questions
Does RunTrim upload source code?
No. The free CLI runs entirely locally. Source code stays on your machine.
What is a continuation prompt?
A prompt that carries current run state into the next Cursor session, including what changed, what is missing, and the next safe action.
How is this different from Cursor's built-in memory?
Cursor handles conversation context. RunTrim handles run state: changed file paths, verification debt, protected systems, and continuation prompts.
Can RunTrim reduce token waste in Cursor?
Yes. Continuation prompts reduce repeated context reconstruction and keep follow-up sessions focused on remaining work.

Claude Code context limit? Continue the run without losing state.
When a run stops mid-task, the real cost is lost state. RunTrim keeps what changed, what is missing, and what to do next.
Create continuation prompts when AI coding runs stop mid-task.
Good continuation prompts preserve operational state. They do not ask the next session to rediscover it.
Keep Cursor AI runs scoped before they edit sensitive files.
Without explicit scope, Cursor can drift into auth, billing, env, database, and other areas outside the original task. Guardrails set the boundary before the run starts.
Keep run history across Cursor AI coding sessions.
Cursor sessions are ephemeral. RunTrim keeps local run memory visible so the next session starts from verified state, not guesswork.
Continue Cursor runs cleanly
Install RunTrim to keep Cursor run state across context limits without restarting from scratch.
