cursor

On May 11, 2026, Cursor shipped effort levels for Bugbot. Default finds 0.7 bugs per review, High pushes it to 0.95, and Custom lets you describe in plain English when each mode should kick in.

Cursor 3.3 (May 7, 2026) ships async subagents that work on independent steps of a plan at the same time, a quick action that splits one chat into multiple pull requests, and a redesigned PR workflow that keeps reviews, commits, and changes in one place.

Cursor is the best place to plan a refactor. Aider is the best place to execute it from a terminal with cheap models and atomic git commits. This guide shows the exact pipe: dump the Cursor chat to markdown, hand it to Aider as a read-only context file, and run an architect/editor split that finishes the work.

Cursor's new @cursor/sdk public beta exposes the same runtime, harness, and models that drive the desktop app, CLI, and web UI as a TypeScript package. You get sandboxed cloud VMs, subagents, hooks, MCP, and token-based pricing in a few lines of code.
