About Cursor
Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI, combining a development environment and AI-driven assistance to accelerate coding workflows. It aims to improve developer productivity by offering context-aware code help, streamlined code navigation, and AI-assisted editing directly inside the editor. Cursor positions itself as a specialized tool for writing, exploring, and maintaining code with AI-powered capabilities integrated into the editor experience.
Key Features
AI-Powered Code Editing: Provides context-aware suggestions and completions within the editor to speed up writing and reduce boilerplate.
In-Editor Assistance: Offers conversational or inline AI help to generate, explain, or modify code snippets without leaving the coding workspace.
Codebase Awareness: Uses project context to make suggestions and navigate code, enabling more relevant completions and targeted edits across files.
Multi-Language Support: Designed to assist across common programming languages, offering consistent editing and completion behavior in diverse codebases.
Workflow Integration: Integrates with typical development workflows (editing, searching, and navigating project files) to make AI suggestions actionable within the editor.
Productivity-Focused UX: Interfaces and features tailored to reduce context switching and speed common tasks like refactoring, writing tests, and generating examples.
AI-assisted code completion and inline code generation within the editor
Context and rule-driven customization via .cursor/rules/*.mdc and instructions.md
Forked from VS Code — leverages familiar editor architecture and extension compatibility
Open-source codebase hosted on GitHub (cursor/cursor) with active commits and community contributions
Support for shareable project-specific rule sets (Cursor Rules) targeting frameworks like Next.js, Tailwind, and TypeScript
Configuration and best-practice enforcement through repository-managed rules and context documents
Use Cases
AI Pair Programming: Work alongside the editor’s AI to draft functions, generate examples, or iterate on implementations faster than manual coding alone.
Bug Investigation and Fixing: Use AI assistance to explain failing code paths, suggest fixes, and apply edits directly in the codebase.
Accelerating Feature Implementation: Generate scaffolded code, helper functions, or integration snippets to quickly move from design to working code.
Codebase Onboarding: New contributors can query and receive summaries or guided code examples to understand code structure and patterns.
Writing Tests and Documentation: Produce unit tests, example usage, or inline documentation snippets based on existing code context.
Refactoring and Cleanup: Apply AI-driven suggestions to simplify, modernize, or reorganize code with context-aware edits.
Speeding up everyday coding by providing contextual, AI-driven completions and suggestions
Enforcing project-specific coding conventions via repository rules and shared rule sets
Onboarding developers to a codebase through instruction and context documents integrated with the editor
Developing with framework-specific setups using predefined Cursor Rules for Next.js, Tailwind, TypeScript, etc.
Collaborating on and sharing editor configuration and coding rules through GitHub-hosted rule files
