docs.cursor.com llms.txt

Grade against the llmstxt.org structure
The URL returned an HTML page, so it fails every structure check. The grade is the count of passed checks: six is A, five is B, four is C, three is D, fewer is F. It measures structure only. Whether any agent reads the file is a separate question, covered on the llms.txt reference.

| Under 100 KB | Fail | 585031 bytes as served. |

Linking and the companion file
The home page of docs.cursor.com does not link the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens.
How it compares
At 571 KB the file is larger than 99 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 0 links put it ahead of 0 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 100 KB and over. Curated example. Category: Developer tool.
