Can someone tell me if Composer and Agent Mode are the same thing? I’ve seen reference as though they were two different things. If so, how do I enable Agent Mode?

Composer (Ctrl + i) is the mode that allows Cursor to directly edit your code. Once you are in the composer’s chat, you can select between:
- Normal mode, where you take turns between coding and chatting, and where you have to specify what files to edit, and you need to run the code yourself, and…
- Agent mode, where Cursor will figure out what files to edit, accept its own code and then even run it, look at the terminal output and then use the output to improve the code without much interaction from your end.
You choose between “normal” / “agent” in the chat box of the composer. You know you’ve activated the agent when it says “Ask agent to do anything”:
