Cursor Multi Repo

Overview

This skill guides you through working with multiple repositories in Cursor. It covers multi-root workspaces, monorepo patterns, selective indexing strategies, and cross-project context management for complex development environments.

Prerequisites

• Multiple repositories or monorepo structure
• Understanding of workspace concepts
• Cursor IDE with workspace support
• Configured .cursorrules for each project

Instructions

1. Decide on multi-repo strategy (separate windows, workspace, or monorepo)
2. Create workspace file or open specific packages
3. Configure .cursorrules inheritance (root + overrides)
4. Set up selective indexing with .cursorignore
5. Use full paths for @-mentions across projects
6. Test cross-project context and queries

Output

• Functional multi-repository workspace
• Properly inherited .cursorrules
• Selective indexing per project
