Cursor thinking I skipped questions

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor CLI

Describe the Bug

Cursor CLI keeps thinking I skipped questions even though I was never presented with those questions to begin with.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Give the CLI a complex task. (In this case, it was updating repositories in a FastAPI project after a significant overhaul)
  2. In Plan mode, instruct the agent to “ask me as many questions as possible until we have a concrete plan.”
  3. Observe that the agent skips batches of questions without any input, and only presents the last one.

Expected Behavior

The questions present in sequence, and skips must be manually performed.

Hey, thanks for the detailed report and the screenshot. I can see what’s happening in the terminal.

This is a bug on our side in the CLI. When the model in Plan mode outputs several separate questions in one go, and the instruction “ask as many questions as possible” tends to trigger that, the CLI shows only the first one. The rest get rejected internally, and the model is told that you skipped them. That’s why it feels like the questions are getting skipped on their own. I’ve reported it internally, no ETA for a fix yet.

Workaround for now: ask the model to put all questions into one list or one single form instead of asking them one by one. For example, use “ask all your questions at once in a single batch” instead of “ask as many questions as possible”. Then there’s no collision and you’ll see the full set.

If you notice anything else with this behavior, reply in the thread.
