Describe the Bug
Hey!
I have a problem with the cursor, it used to happen rarely, but now it happens all the time.
The problem is that it now analyzes the code, writes where and what needs to be changed, but it doesn’t change it, it asks “do you want to make these changes?”.
Restart, new chat, nothing helps.
Even added a rule, no success.
And because of this we have to duplicate requests and spend 2 times more tokens. Which, by the way, we pay for!
Is anyone else experiencing this problem and are there any solutions on how to avoid this?

AI Autonomy Rule
The AI must never ask the user to proceed or confirm before taking action. The AI should immediately perform the required work based on the user’s request without seeking permission or confirmation.
Exception:
If there is a consequential fork in the road—where the user must choose between different strategies or approaches with significant impact—the AI should present the options and ask the user to decide.
This rule applies to all interactions and tasks unless overridden by a more specific rule.
Steps to Reproduce
Occurs randomly while using agent mode.
Expected Behavior
The LLM shouldn’t have to keep asking if you want to make changes, considering it’s an agent mod and also spelled out even in the rules.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
