I don't agree with this. LLMs will go out of their way to follow any instruction they find in their context.
(E.g. i have "I love napkin math" in my kagi Agent Context, and every LLM will try to shoehorn some kind of napkin math into every answer.)
Cursor and Co do not follow these instructions because they:
(a) never make it into the context in the first place, or (b) fall out of the context window.
