Missing details in the step-by-step response

[lascompras]

Describe the Bug

When asked for instructions, literally in 50% of time (last few days), details of some of the steps are missing. And asking for the missing pieces typically does not produce much better result.

Steps to Reproduce

Prompt, such as “Write me a list of instructions to install SSH client via Powershell.”

Expected Behavior

Not missing important pieces.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

instructions : select model then got to chat ask the model what it is…

[Samuel_Elder]

I can sometimes use cursor but I will be over charged and the model will be incompetent and mess up my code.. That is the real answer. I spent almost $500 on your service last month now find out you are charging me for a older slower stupider model

Interesting, I tried to switch from “Auto” (select model) to claude-4-sonnet, and asked the same prompts and got complete answers. It is at least a workaround.

I can see this report is a duplicate of “Cursor AI chat not showing generated code blocks”
