Last month, I was working on this massive refactoring project (you know, the kind that makes you question your life choices ). 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”
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!
You know that feeling when:
- Cursor AI goes off on a tangent?
- Starts doing things you didn’t ask for?
- Or just… doesn’t quite get what you want?
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!
Super easy to get started:
npm i cursor-agent
Check it out: cursor-agent - npm
(It’s tiny, promise - just 28.3kb! )
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!
Oh, and here’s the exciting part - this is just the beginning! 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!
Happy coding!
