Agent await user after each sentence

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

One of the latest updates changed the agent’s behavior. Previously, it would create a plan as a to-do list and immediately begin working on it, stopping only in the event of an emergency or when the outlined task was fully completed.
Now, the agent pauses and waits for something from the user after every sneeze. It created a plan as a to-do list and immediately stopped. I had a hard time convincing it to follow its own to-do list—it completed one item and stopped.
Moreover, the user is not informed in any way that any remaining to-do items remain, or that the work is in fact unfinished. I have to check this myself by scrolling through the chat.

Steps to Reproduce

n/a

Expected Behavior

As before: if the user specifically requested approval of the action plan, then after preparing the to-do list, it is appropriate to request their consent/corrections. If they haven’t requested it, then after creating the to-do list, it immediately begins step-by-step execution without unnecessary pauses. Only in cases of unclear situations or possible work loops.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Thanks for the report! I’ve raised this with the team.

As a workaround while we look into it, you can try using Plan Mode:

  • Press Shift+Tab from the chat input to switch to Plan Mode
  • Agent will create the to-do list and plan
  • Review/edit the plan if needed
  • Click “Build the plan” to execute all items
