OK, I didn’t know that Cursor could do that…
… and obviously it only helps for CIs that are set up to run on every push…
… but apparently, it can, and does it well.
I’m impressed. When did this capability get added?
Hey glad it worked. Agent has been able to run the terminal and the gh CLI for a while, so workflows like check CI, fix it, open a PR work. It’s just not called out explicitly very often.
If you want to automate more, take a look at:
- Cloud Agents Cloud Agents | Cursor Docs runs tasks in the background with repo access
- BugBot Bugbot | Cursor Docs automatic PR reviews
- Automations Automations | Cursor Docs event-based triggers
Then you won’t need to ask the agent manually every time.
But the impressive part was that:
1: Cursor could do that even though I don’t have gh installed on this machine! It used browser control…
2: I didn’t explicitly ask it to. It just picked it the checks of the CI and PRs protocol from the AGENTS.md
Yes, both parts work as intended. The agent automatically picks up AGENTS.md and Cursor Rules as context, so if you describe a CI/PR workflow there, it’ll follow it without you having to remind it. See Rules | Cursor Docs
And the Browser tool is exactly for cases like this, when there’s no CLI. The agent can open the GitHub UI and do the same thing in the browser. More details: Browser | Cursor Docs
