Getting real tired of composer apologising for making mistakes

just lost another 6 hours today because it worms itself into a hole it can’t get out of and then apologises when i keep catching it deleting crucial core code that it should not be touching

when will you increase context windows? it’s perfectly capable of coding it just loses context - would pay for a product that actually retains the context - is this a limit of the underlying llm or is this a cursor thing?

Hey, unfortunately, the models within Cursor are only as good as the context they are given. We’re not yet at the point where Cursor is a magic bullet, and can do anything you ask of it.

To improve the performance you are seeing, I’d recommend:

  • Routinely starting new Composer sessions to keep the context concise and on topic for what you are trying to do
  • Be precise about the files you @, to ensure the LLM doesn’t have too much infomation
  • Use Project Rules to enforce certain behaviours, like ensuring the LLM doesn’t edit unrelated code, or confirms the changes you want before it does them
