Navigate to Settings > Cursor > Codebase Indexing
Enable "Index this workspace"
Create .cursorignore file at project root
Add exclusion patterns for large/irrelevant directories
Wait for indexing to complete (check status bar)
Test with @codebase queries in chat

Indexed codebase enabling @codebase queries
Semantic code search functionality
Improved AI context awareness
Searchable symbol table and definitions
