I’ve been playing with both Claude Code and Cursor agent a ton. One feature I love with Claude Code is the /compact command when the context starts to get unwieldy. With cursor agent I tend to typically just start new sessions when things get unwieldy, but sometimes i really want to keep the context of what i’ve been doing and this seems like a simple command that does a great job of achieving that
Fwiw I’ve found a very cool flow, especially when i’m doing really large tasks, where i tell cursor agent (or claude code) to go through and understand what i’m trying to do and formulate plan WITHOUT ANY CODE CHANGES. I then have it write a full list of instructions as though it were explaining to an LLM what to do into a .txt file.
Then I just start various sessions with the agent saying “do tasks 1 and 2 from the insturction file” and then clear each time they finish. Works incredibly well and works with 3.7’s desire to rebuild the empire state building every time it finishes something
