Fonctions clés

• Cursor: Codebase-aware AI chat and editing inside the editor.
• Cursor: Agent workflows that can read and modify multiple files, run commands, and handle larger implementation tasks with review.
• Cursor: Rules and project context controls that help steer how AI works in a repository.
• Cursor: MCP, CLI, model selection, and team/enterprise documentation for more advanced setups.

Cas d’usage concrets

• Cursor: Implement a feature across several files while reviewing each diff.
• Cursor: Ask questions about an unfamiliar repository and get navigation help inside the editor.
• Cursor: Refactor repeated patterns, add tests, or update API usage with project context.
• Cursor: Use Rules to encode team conventions before asking an agent to modify code.

Workflow recommandé

• Cursor: Open a real repository and define project rules before asking for broad changes.
• Cursor: Use focused prompts with expected behavior, files, and test commands.
• Cursor: Review diffs file by file; do not blindly accept agent edits.
• Cursor: Run tests, type checks, linting, and security review after non-trivial changes.

Forces et limites

• Excellent for codebase-aware AI editing and daily developer workflows.
• Agentic edits can still break hidden assumptions or make locally correct but globally wrong changes.
• Large repositories require careful context management, rules, tests, and review.
• Pricing, models, enterprise controls, and product UI evolve quickly, so current docs should be checked before procurement.

Alternatives

• GitHub Copilot for GitHub-native enterprise adoption and editor plugins.
• Windsurf for an alternative agentic IDE with Cascade.
• Claude Code or Codex for terminal/repository agent workflows.
• Sourcegraph Cody for codebase search and enterprise code intelligence.
• Aider for command-line AI pair programming.
