Composer with agent - wow!

just wanna say… not sure what’s happening this update, but the composer option next to where the chat window is feels like an absolute beast with agent mode enabled…

Im working on an app with a go backend repo and a react-router 7 repo with simple react bootstrap (which im using the full framework so essentially remix 3). Even though LLMs would’t have much training on this as new, it just knows what to do based on the other patterns through the codebase and files…

The way i work is to have a separate repo for the api and then the front end and have 2 cursor windows open… if i need to tell the frontend about API calls from the backend, I just paste in the part from my postman collection.

and if it can’t fix on a lint, I just provide a page of documentation and it gets it right.

not sure what you’ve done this update and I never normally post on these forums, but bravo guys, this certainly feels like a massive leap forward…

Another thing I like is when you right click and error and select fix in composer it adds it to the current composer context.

So now, i no longer user chat at all, and stick with composer, but the one next to the chat.

what sometimes I need to do is the recalculating of index doesn’t catchup quite quick enough before I send my next message, so i go in and manually do it as it usually just takes a few seconds, and then i’ll resend…

Edit:
just to note I have no custom rules either… i just tell it to follow existing patterns in other files. ymmv

As well for me Composer has now appeared as a tab beside Chat, and it is Chat on steroids for sure. I did not even notice the agent option yet.

Unlike you I have invested the time in a well cultivated set of very detailed, very technical, organized list of cursor rules, which are working well. I highly recommend investing the time in setting up rules, and assigning them categories

Yesterday I spent the day adding URL’s to the doc’s section, but not any GitHub repositories, which I instead clone into a ‘references’ folder and index them as embeddings.

I have never been so productive, at creating extremely complex code, ever in my life. I can build anything now. … sky is the limit. && I’ve only been a Cursor user for one month. ha hah ha. – Let’s GO !

Thats great to hear :smiley:

I spent time this past days working on my cursor rules to show it how to run commands specifically for my environment and it’s been wild to see…
