Finally! A Remote Control for Your Cursor AI!

Last month, I was working on this massive refactoring project (you know, the kind that makes you question your life choices :sweat_smile:). I had Cursor AI helping me out, but… well, let’s just say it had its own “creative” ideas about my code.

Me: “Hey Cursor, can you update these React components?”
Cursor: “Sure! proceeds to rewrite my entire app in Vue.js:upside_down_face:

After the third time of saying “No, no, that’s not what I meant!” and watching Cursor go on exciting but completely unrelated adventures through my codebase, I thought: “There has to be a better way!”

That’s when cursor-agent was born! :tada:

You know that feeling when:

  • Cursor AI goes off on a tangent? :thinking:
  • Starts doing things you didn’t ask for? :see_no_evil:
  • Or just… doesn’t quite get what you want? :tired_face:

I built cursor-agent because I needed it myself. Needed something to make Cursor behave like that helpful coding buddy we all want - one who actually listens and does what we ask!

Now with cursor-agent, you’re the boss. Tell Cursor exactly what you want, and watch it follow your lead like a well-trained puppy! :dog2:

Super easy to get started:
npm i cursor-agent

Check it out: cursor-agent - npm
(It’s tiny, promise - just 28.3kb! :pinching_hand:)

Been using this in my own projects and wow… what a game-changer! That big refactoring project? Finished in half the time, with Cursor actually following my lead instead of going on its own adventures.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! Always happy to chat and help fellow devs make their AI assistant actually… assist! :rocket:

Oh, and here’s the exciting part - this is just the beginning! :seedling: Got ideas for making cursor-agent even better? I’d love to hear them! Whether you’re a TypeScript wizard, AI enthusiast, or just someone with cool feature ideas, let’s build this together.

Drop by our GitHub repo, open an issue, submit a PR, or just say hi! Every contribution, big or small, helps make our AI coding buddy even smarter. Who knows? Maybe your idea will be the next game-changing feature! :bulb:

Happy coding!

Cursor Is Amazing !!!

I’m curious about your specific concerns. I think what would really help this discussion is if we compared actual results between:

  1. Using cursor-agent’s approach
  2. Using a straightforward prompt like CodebaseSearch example: “Search in our code examples of file creation as to how create a new file, limit your search to @src/.ts and @utils/.js”

Without seeing these side-by-side comparisons, it does feel like cursor-agent might be reinventing the wheel or maybe just trying to patch over Cursor’s existing issues (which will probably get fixed anyway). “it just works!” isn’t really a compelling enough reason to adopt a more complicated process.

Would you be interested in creating some actual performance comparisons between these approaches?
