Hi Everyone,

New to cursor and looking to use the composer feature a bit more but can’t seem to find the documentation for this.

Please do you know where it is?

Thanks,  
Babs

Hi @Khalizo ,

The Composer feature is quite new, and only recently came out of Beta, and therefore isn’t represented in the Cursor Docs site yet:

[https://docs.cursor.com/get-started/migrate-from-vscode](https://docs.cursor.com/get-started/migrate-from-vscode)

[https://github.com/getcursor/docs](https://github.com/getcursor/docs)

That said, I recently posted a general overview of all of Cursor’s main features, including Composer, in response to another user’s question here - hopefully that can assist:

> Hi @Sam-Forum , I personally haven’t been following the video tutorials that have been created on YouTube recently, but I know a lot have been added. The Cursor Docs have recently been added to GitHub so I imagine their content will grow in the coming weeks: [https://docs.cursor.com](https://docs.cursor.com)[https://github.com/getcursor/docs](https://github.com/getcursor/docs) You can also view the features page here: [https://www.cursor.com/features](https://www.cursor.com/features) Here is a post that provides some introductory information: In terms of the scope of functionality …

In the same topic, I link to a video that does a good job of providing an overview of Cursor’s main features, and a demo of each of them:

I will post back when the Cursor Docs have been updated to include Composer.

For reference, if you search YouTube for Cursor AI Composer, there will be quite a few results focussing on the Composer feature, such as this one:

Nice to see the community here, but that’s no substitute from documentation directly from the Cursor team. Good place to spend that funding 🙂. I totally get why they haven’t prioritized it though. It’s _mostly_ intuitive. But now the competition is heating up and that user experience will be important unless Cursor maintains a significant moat (doubtful).

Hi @litecode

Thanks for your response!

Yes I found a few tutorials on YouTube that talk about how it works

Thanks,

I have been creating a few videos on Cursor and one specifically on the Composer feature. Hopefully it helps. [https://youtu.be/Tm\_2RZm8JB8?si=doa1RCP2ysNSWQNG](https://youtu.be/Tm_2RZm8JB8?si=doa1RCP2ysNSWQNG)

Just watched your video, @robshox…great job! Appreciate the clear and succinct approach, style and tips. I see you’ve posted a few more about Cursor since then so will catch up on those later. Great content!

Ah cheers! I’m a big fan of the tool. I’m genuinely having so much fun building loads of projects I didn’t have the time to get to. It unlocks prototypes in hours instead of weeks

This thread still ranks higher than the actual documentation… so for those like me who end up here, Composer docs: [Cursor - Build Software Faster](https://docs.cursor.com/composer/overview)
