I don't understanding this hate... It is very easy to prompt 3.7 into working your way. When you can, then it does a very good job. Better than 3.5.
There is probably some settings to tune it, temperature, anxiety level etc...
That depends on the prompt injections (for good or ill) Cursor IDE is making along the way.
Yeah, the un-asked-for README.md in the middle of a sub-directory is getting annoying. Note you can create .cursor/rules to adjust things
For some reason, it started ignoring my rules - both in old .cursorrules and new .cursor/rules. I mean, even blunt ones like (in Python) "never ever import Dict, use dict instead".

I'm unsure if it is Claude 3.7 or a recent Cursor update. Yes, in cursor settings I have rules switched on.

(comment deleted)
Yes, I experienced this too. Is it a model issue or something related to the configuration and system prompts of Cursor?
I do not use cursor but tried other agentic integrations (including claude-code) and see nothing resembling this issue.

my guess would be in cursor they wanted to force models to be much more defensive because they kept forgetting about error handling etc. but Claude 3.7 is just good enough ootb and that extra nudge is too much

I've had this issue in Aider with Claude 3.7
Yeah,

Q: implement POST /endpoint

A: Sure I implemented POST /endpoint and GET /endpoint

ARGH, follow orders mate!
