Improving Code Modification Precision

Currently, modifying code via chat can be limiting for complex changes. It lacks structure and makes it difficult to manage precise modifications in a project.

This article, Chat is a bad UI pattern for development tools, explains well why a more documented and organized approach would be more effective. Instead of relying on linear chat requests, a better alternative could be to express modifications in a more structured way.

Would you be interested in such a feature in Cursor? How do you think it could be integrated?

In regards to precision, Iā€™d love to see tools such as search/replace and AST-based refactor available to the agent.
