Cursor

What is Cursor?

Cursor combines a code editor with an AI agent that can search a repository, edit files and run terminal commands. Developers can ask where behavior is implemented, then give the agent a focused change with relevant project context. Inline assistance and completion support direct editing, while agent workflows can work across several files. A useful sequence is to locate the affected code, describe the expected behavior, inspect the resulting diff and run checks that exercise the change. Checkpoints can restore files changed during an agent session, but they are separate from permanent Git history. Generated code can still miss edge cases or duplicate existing logic, so a plausible result and passing tests should lead to review rather than automatic acceptance.

Understand repository code, make focused agent-assisted changes and review the resulting diffs and tests.
