I’d love to have an api that exposes chat or composer. I know this is a big lift as you’d prob have to create a virtual container for the IDE somewhere.

The use case here would be to scope work/tickets and then send it to Composer to implement and create PRs.

I want to create an army of AI devs to do all my work 🙂

yes, going to have to search for an alternative if this is not an option.

Yep - this last abstraction of scripting things like launching a fresh chat + explicitly setting the working file set selection + executing a series of standard prompts is exactly what I need here. There’s a serious limit to the effectiveness of stuffing custom rules/ llms.txt with all the steps involved in a single mature development iteration; Cursor can emulate most steps very well _if_ directly prompted for them, but not as one giant command (context be damned). So what happens now is I’m basically entering the same clicks and 10-20 prompts over and over, and ironically the cursor workflow becomes a painfully monotonous, repetitive process of clicks and copy-pasting the same instructions that would be easily automated… it’s funny except it’s not.

Up! I’m already trying to find alternatives… But this would be amazing to have…

hi, did you find any alternatives to access cursor chat from another application?
