Explore Windsurf and Cursor support (gateway proxy + conversation import)

[BYK]

Summary

Investigate whether Windsurf and Cursor can be supported by lore — both for the gateway proxy (live memory) and conversation import (historical knowledge extraction).

Context

Lore now supports conversation import from 7 agents: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Continue, Pi, and Aider. The gateway proxy supports 4 agents for live memory: Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and OpenCode.

Windsurf and Cursor are two popular AI coding IDEs that are conspicuously absent. Before investing in provider implementations, we need to understand:

Questions to answer

Gateway proxy support

1. Do they support external API base URLs? (e.g. ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, OPENAI_BASE_URL env vars or settings)
2. What wire protocol do they use? (Anthropic messages, OpenAI completions, OpenAI responses, or proprietary)
3. Can they be configured to route LLM traffic through a local proxy?
4. Without proxy support, gateway integration is not feasible.

Conversation import

1. Where do they store conversation history locally?
   • Cursor likely stores in ~/.cursor/ — investigate the SQLite schema
   • Windsurf likely stores in ~/.windsurf/ or similar
2. Is the format stable or does it change between versions?
3. Is there per-project scoping (cwd/workspace) in the stored data?
4. Is the conversation data human-readable (JSON, JSONL, markdown) or opaque (internal leveldb, encrypted)?

Priority

• If neither supports external gateway URLs, we should only pursue import providers (lower maintenance burden).
• If the local storage format is opaque or frequently changing, the maintenance cost may outweigh the benefit.
