Cursor prompts
Cursor-specific rules files, agent-mode task briefs and review prompts — written against Cursor 2.x behavior, with the constraint blocks that stop an agentic editor from wandering.
Every prompt lists the exact tool and version it was tested against.
Brief Cursor Composer to build a multi-file feature without wandering offA Composer/Agent-mode brief that names exactly which files are in scope, the data contract between them, and what to leave alone, so a multi-file autonomous build stays inside the feature you actually asked for.Cursor 2.1Cursor 2.02026-07-10Get a contained edit out of Cursor Cmd+K instead of a rewritten blockA Cmd+K inline-edit instruction that names the transformation and exactly what must stay byte-identical, tuned for the selection-scoped inline editor rather than a whole-file agent pass.Cursor 2.12026-06-25Point Cursor BugBot at real risk instead of letting it restate the diffA PR description written for BugBot, Cursor's automated PR-review agent, that states risk areas and known trade-offs up front so its comments concentrate on logic and security instead of narrating what the diff already shows.Cursor 2.1Cursor BugBot2026-07-18Hand Cursor Background Agents a task that survives you not being thereA self-contained brief for Cursor's Background Agents — the async, remote-run agent mode — with success criteria and a rule to resolve ambiguity conservatively, since no one will answer follow-up questions while it works.Cursor 2.1Cursor Background Agents2026-07-25Refactor with Cursor checkpoints as a named safety net, not a fallback nobody usesA refactor brief that breaks the change into checkpoint-sized steps and tells Cursor's agent to stop and name the last good checkpoint on failure, instead of patching a bad step with a second speculative fix.Cursor 2.12026-08-01Tell Cursor which package actually owns a change in a multi-root monorepoA context brief for Cursor's multi-root workspace support that names the owning package, treats sibling packages as read-only context, and states shared-file boundaries, so the agent doesn't cross package lines while searching the whole workspace.Cursor 2.12026-07-05Turn a pasted design mock into a component that fits your design systemA brief for pasting a screenshot or Figma export into Cursor's chat/Composer that locks the output to your existing component primitives and design tokens instead of a plausible-looking reimplementation from scratch.Cursor 2.12026-07-14Have Cursor's agent write tests that would actually catch a regressionAn agent-mode brief for generating tests against documented behavior rather than the implementation as found, with a forced tripwire that proves each test would actually fail if the behavior broke.Cursor 2.12026-06-30Run a major dependency upgrade through Cursor agent mode in stages, not one shotA triage-then-migrate-then-verify brief for upgrading a dependency across a codebase in agent mode, with a confirm gate before any file changes so the blast radius is reviewed as a plan, not a diff.Cursor 2.12026-07-28Make Composer audit its own multi-file diff before you look at itA post-edit review prompt that has Cursor's Composer re-check every file it just touched against the original brief, itemizing an UNREQUESTED label for anything it can't justify — before you spend your own review pass finding it.Cursor 2.12026-08-04Get Cursor's agent to measure a slow path instead of guessing at a fixA measure-diagnose-fix brief that requires Cursor's agent to instrument and get real numbers on a slow code path before proposing any optimization, so a confident-sounding fix can't ship for a bottleneck that was never actually located.Cursor 2.12026-07-21Write comments that make Cursor's Tab complete the way you actually wantA commenting-style brief — for the top of a file or a .cursorrules entry — that shapes forward-looking intent comments for Cursor's Tab predictive multi-line completion, so its suggestions match your next step more often instead of guessing from indentation alone.Cursor 2.12026-06-12
