Fix Bug
CodingFind and fix bugs across a codebase
Analyze this project and find the root cause of the following bug: [DESCRIBE BUG]. Inspect the relevant files, explain the cause, make the required fix, and verify that the fix does not introduce new issues.
Build Feature
CodingBuild a complete feature inside an existing project
Implement this feature: [FEATURE DESCRIPTION]. First inspect the existing project architecture and identify the files that need changes. Then create a clear implementation plan, make the changes, and test the result.
Code Review
CodingPerform an AI-assisted code review
Review the current codebase for security, performance, maintainability, architecture, error handling, and potential bugs. Identify the most important issues and suggest specific fixes.
Refactor Code
CodingImprove existing code while preserving behavior
Refactor the following part of the project without changing its intended behavior. Improve readability, maintainability, performance, and code structure. Explain the changes and verify the result with appropriate tests.
Understand Project
GeneralUnderstand an unfamiliar codebase before making changes
Analyze this repository and explain its architecture, main components, data flow, important files, dependencies, entry points, and how the major features work. Do not modify any files.

⚠️ Limitations
- •Advanced Agent and model usage is subject to plan-specific limits
- •Different AI models have different usage rates and context capabilities
- •Cloud Agents require repository access and temporarily store repository copies while agents work
- •AI-generated code can contain bugs, security vulnerabilities, or incorrect implementations
- •Some models and features are restricted to specific subscription plans
- •Third-party model requests may be subject to the selected model provider's availability and pricing
- •Cursor requires internet connectivity for many AI-powered features
- •AI agents can make unintended changes, so generated changes should be reviewed and version-controlled
