Render Images in Cursor
Cursor chat renders an image reliably only when the file lives INSIDE the open workspace. Image tools often save to folders outside it (for example an assets folder under the Cursor projects directory) and claim the image "is already displayed" — the user then sees nothing, with no error. Inline chat rendering is also a newer, rollout-dependent Cursor feature, so always add the editor-tab fallback.
Workflow
- Copy the image into the open workspace. Any workspace folder works; prefer the repo's temp folder:
mkdir -p tmp/mockups
cp "$IMAGE_PATH" tmp/mockups/my-image.png
- Embed it in the chat reply with plain markdown pointing at the in-workspace file, using its full absolute path:
