Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
Summary:
Enable users to specify the Model directly in Cursor Commands File, (similar to how settings can be set in the Cursor Rules file header). This would allow fine-grained control over which model executes a given command or automation task.
Motivation
I am a cursor ultra user and Cursor Commands are extremely useful for automating workflows (e.g., refactoring, generating tests, documentation, or boilerplate).
However, different commands require different cognitive loads and cost-performance tradeoffs:
• Lightweight tasks (e.g. linting, formatting, code comment generation) can be handled by smaller, faster models.
• Deep reasoning tasks (e.g. architecture refactoring, multi-file edits, or debugging) require high-end models like Claude 4.5 Sonnet Thinking.
