Cursor

SKU: cursor

Cursor is an AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE) designed to enhance developer productivity by integrating advanced artificial intelligence features directly into the coding environment. As a fork of Visual Studio Code, it offers features such as AI-powered code generation, intelligent autocompletion, smart rewrites, and codebase understanding. Cursor supports integration with existing extensions, themes, and keybindings, ensuring a familiar workflow for developers.

Developers seeking AI assistance for code generation and autocompletion.
Programmers looking to enhance coding efficiency with intelligent suggestions.
Teams aiming to integrate AI-powered tools into their development workflow.
Cursor demonstrates substantial autonomy through features like AI code completion across multiple files (Lv1 automation), commit-level editing with Interpreter Mode (approaching Lv2 automation), and simulated outcome analysis for strategic planning. However, it requires frequent user confirmation for terminal commands (source 3), lacks full multi-file coordination without supervision (source 7), and needs human validation for complex refactoring tasks. The agent shows emerging Lv2 capabilities but hasn't achieved full feature-level automation (Lv3) as described in automation hierarchy frameworks (source 2). Current limitations in cross-file dependency resolution and context retention during long sessions (source 4) prevent higher autonomy scoring.
