Ok, second time in two days I've shared with folks, so probably need to broadcast more broadly: If you are using Cursor's Composer feature, switch to "agent" mode. It's a straight-up upgrade over "normal", better in every way. Click "agent" and the prompt will change to "Ask agent to do anything"

How is it better? - the agent formulates a plan, and then iterates on the plan until done. Stays on track well! - it can see linter+type+syntax errors and will act automatically to resolve them. This alone would be worth it! - it recommends CLI commands to run. You approve each one.

Oh, also, it's codebase search seems to be more robust since it seems to have some different tools for searching the codebase and reading individual files.
