Capabilities
- IDE-centered coding agent experience for developers already using Cursor as their daily editor.
- Can combine inline edits, codebase chat, agent mode, and background tasks in one workflow.
- Useful for product teams that prefer editor-native assistance over terminal-only or cloud-only tools.
- Works well when repository context, instructions, and tests are available inside the workspace.
- Good candidate for bug fixes, refactors, feature scaffolds, and codebase questions.
- Compare with Claude Code for terminal workflows and Copilot/Codex for GitHub/cloud workflows.
Use Cases
- Trial scenario: Ask Cursor to implement a small UI or API change while you review files in the same editor.
- Trial scenario: Run a background task for a scoped issue and inspect the proposed patch before committing.
- Trial scenario: Use codebase chat to locate relevant files, then switch to agent mode for implementation.
- Trial scenario: Compare it with Claude Code on a multi-file refactor requiring test updates.
- Trial scenario: Use it for rapid prototyping but require manual cleanup before production merge.
- Trial scenario: Evaluate how well it respects project rules, lint commands, and design-system conventions.

- Risk check: Editor convenience can hide broad changes; review diffs carefully and keep branch boundaries tight.
