Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
With each new release, I find the Agent tab to be more and more anti-useful. How do you go from a terrific product that complements the user’s coding to an incredibly obstructive product.
Here are some examples I’ve had the privilege of seeing (Python/Jupyter development):
- Infinite logic loops and planning what to do.
- “Fixing” (actually breaking) code that is working instead of focusing on what the prompt requested.
- The latest specific example that made me come here: After the AI finally comes up with a code fix (possibly, it didn’t want to share the solution) it cannot update the notebook directly with track changes like it used to. So instead it creates a separate python script to read the notebook file and update the sections, then asks me to run it. So I say ok, why not. But of course it cannot run the script just like that because it needs to activate environment variables, so the script fails. Then it proceeds back into an infinite loop trying it all over again. Then I stop the AI and ask it to instead print it in the output, so it proceeds with creating a new file - again not what I asked, - and then again goes into an infinite loop. This is an Asylum level user experience.
