Plan Updates Should Highlight Added, Removed, and Modified Items

When a plan is created or updated, it is often difficult to identify exactly what changed between versions.

It would be very helpful if Cursor could display a clear diff whenever a plan is modified, including:

  • Newly added tasks/steps

  • Removed tasks/steps

  • Modified tasks/steps

  • A summary of changes since the previous version

For example:

Added:

  • Implement OAuth callback handling

  • Add integration tests

Removed:

  • Legacy authentication flow

Modified:

  • Update database schema migration strategy

This would make plan iterations much easier to review and help users quickly understand what changed without manually comparing the entire plan.

Use cases:

  • Long implementation plans

  • Multi-step refactors

  • Agent-generated plans that evolve over time

  • Team collaboration and plan reviews

A visual changelog or diff view would significantly improve the planning workflow.
