Is it possible to have Cursor plan a feature, and only execute one to-do at a time? Now it starts running through all of them which is insanely hard to follow.
You can force this behavior by setting strict rules in your initial prompt. The Agent tends to be over-enthusiastic unless you tell it to pause.
Try starting your session with a prompt like this:
‘Please create a numbered implementation plan for this feature.
Important Rule: I want to proceed step-by-step. Execute only step #1. Then STOP and wait for my manual review and confirmation. Do not proceed to step #2 until I explicitly tell you to.’
Also, to keep the quality high, it helps to switch between Chat (for planning) and Composer (for execution) to avoid context fatigue.

Hey, I tested this and it doesn’t really work, it still starts going berserk everytime. Would love to have an actual feature that makes it go through TODOs one by one.
