Feature Request: Cursor CLI Enhancements

Product/Service: Cursor CLI

Description of the request:
Hi team, I would like to request several improvements to Cursor CLI to bring it closer to the functionality offered by Claude Code and Cursor IDE:

  1. Custom Slash Commands Folder (/)

    • Allow users to create and manage a folder of custom slash commands.
    • This would enable flexible workflows and personalized automation, similar to Claude Code’s customization features.

  2. Memory Management

    • Add persistent memory features to retain context across sessions.
    • Provide commands to enable/disable memory or selectively clear it.

  3. Model Selection Options

    • Expand the available models in Cursor CLI (currently very limited).
    • At minimum, offer half the model set of Cursor IDE, so users can experiment with different strengths.
    • Example: While using Claude 4 in Cursor CLI, I noticed it is not the “thinking” model variant, which limits advanced reasoning.

  4. Terminal Integration Improvements

    • Fix issues where long-running commands cause cursor-agent to hang indefinitely.
    • Improve robustness of terminal interactions, especially for background jobs and streaming logs.

  5. Bug Fixes and Stability

    • Address occasional freezes when CLI tries to process outputs that exceed certain lengths.
    • Ensure smoother cancellation (e.g., Ctrl+C should reliably stop both the command and the agent).

  6. Additional Features Inspired by CodeX / Claude Code:

    • Plugin/extension hooks: allow community-built add-ons for advanced workflows.
    • Improved output formatting: support for structured JSON/YAML output when requested, making automation easier.

Operating Systems:

  • Windows 10/11
  • macOS
  • Linux
