Cursor inefficient

150 fast requests used for literally hours of Claude Sonnet 3.6 doing nothing accept completely breaking my entire supabase project and breaking my superadmin login functionality!

Sorry to hear that.
Dont you have an backup or version control?
Check if you still have one functional left.
You can reverse every step in cursor so it should never break a project completly.
After every change, test the code.
Personal tips:
Try smaller code changes not entire projcet changes in one prompt.
Create a new composer after a while.
Plan and talk more with the Composer or Chat.
Prompts are the most important thing to LLMs. Be very detailed on what you want to do.
Hope i could help you for future projects!

Hey, two things:

  1. I found out that manually added model “claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022” is better than “claude-3.5 sonnet” by default (cf. äžș什äčˆæˆ‘çš„cursorć–æ¶ˆäș†Claude3-520241022)

  2. Are you on Windows? If yes you might find your files in the folder: C:\Users<your user>\AppData\Roaming\Cursor\User\History
    On other distro, idk, but for sure, there’s a “/User/History” folder somewhere :wink:
    You can also Cmd/Ctrl+P > “Local history” and enter the file name

Hope it helps

Could you report the bad composer? This will help us understand how to fix

I don’t see that, Report issue. I see copy request ID. I went into help, report issue and pasted the request id - not sure if that helps. If this is my issue then so be it but Honestly, I don’t think it is. This thing is at about a 95% failure rate. It rarely gets something right the first time. It’s just error, copy paste error, It says I see the issue, give ya a lot of fluff about how it knows what’s wrong and sends a fix that’s another error. Seriously, at this rate I’ll NEVER finish this project - its like this thing is just guessing and trying different things until it gets lucky and has a fix. I’m very disappointed in all this - going to bed now, thanks for all your help everybody - but I just don’t have the energy right now to keep going with this!

I can only see ‘Copy message’.
I can’t see ‘Report issue’.
I’m on Windows.
