Finding BACKLOG.md and workspace paths

Canonical backlog file: BACKLOG.md at the workspace (repository) root — same level as PROJECT_CONTEXT.md and activeContext.md.

Full path (this machine):
/Users/victoriacrosby/Desktop/Cursor/BACKLOG.md
Shorthand: ~/Desktop/Cursor/BACKLOG.md (~ = /Users/victoriacrosby).

---

In Cursor

1. Quick Open: Cmd+P (Mac) or Ctrl+P (Windows/Linux), type BACKLOG, choose BACKLOG.md.
2. Explorer: Left sidebar → open your Cursor workspace folder → BACKLOG.md is at the top level.

Copy path or reveal in Finder

• Open BACKLOG.md, then right‑click the editor tab → Reveal in Finder or Copy Path (wording varies by Cursor/VS Code version).

---

In Terminal

cd ~/Desktop/Cursor
ls BACKLOG.md
open BACKLOG.md    # optional: opens in default app
