I use Cursor heavily on desktop and find Ask/Plan mode extremely valuable for repo-aware reasoning, understanding existing code, and planning changes.
When I’m on the go, this is the best way for me to reason over my repo, ask targeted questions, and plan work so execution is fast once I’m back at my laptop. The current mobile Agent feels more optimized for one-shot execution (for me at least), and it usually couldn’t one-shot it for me
Curious if this is on the roadmap, or if there’s a recommended workflow today for repo-aware planning on mobile.
Currently, the web/mobile Cloud Agent at cursor.com/agents supports only the Agent mode (execution-focused), as outlined in the docs.
Ask/Plan modes are desktop-only features for now. Your use-case for repo-aware planning on the go makes a lot of sense - I’ve passed this feedback along to the team.
For now, a potential workaround: you could start an Agent on mobile with a planning-focused prompt (e.g., “Analyze X and create a plan, but don’t make changes yet”) - it won’t be exactly like Plan mode but could help with reasoning.
PR is created automatically:
This was a known bug, and it’s already fixed. Please try again, it should work now. If the issue still happens, you can change the default settings here: cursor.com/dashboard > Cloud Agents > Defaults.
Also for the future, the feature to “ask the repo a question without creating a branch or PR” isn’t available yet, but the team knows about this request.
Cloud Agents pricing:
Yes, Cloud Agents are billed using the API pricing of the model you selected. Details: cursor.com/docs/account/pricing
