Cursor Edit mode
Cursor in Agent mode, with 3.7 , is quite a beast.
It can put together a hefty code base in 1 shot, given enough of a project details.
However, editing existing code, it is hard to tame.
When asking something like “apply the css to this page”, it will reconstruct auth, database queries and start randomly generated new features you never ask for.
Introducing Cursor Edit mode, something between Chat and Agent mode.
Used to make focused changes, not start building a parallel code base.
Technically, some of the arguments I have with LLMs that seem to help
use existing code, such as…
only fix what I ask for
dont add stuff without asking
read project.txt again
use XYZ lib we already are using
stop being a dunce, who taught you put the db queries in the client browser err messages, i know you know how to code, why do you hate me, whats wrong with you…
You can do this now by typing it in each request, but it would be nice to have a more focused mode that whatever voodoo your doing between LLM calls helps it along.
Thanks.
