Cursor
Made Crystal Clear
A practical, visual Cursor AI guide, from first tab to agentic coding that sticks
Cursor is the AI code editor everyone is trying, and most people are using at ten percent of its depth: they accept a Tab completion, paste an error into chat, and call it a workflow. This Cursor AI guide builds the mental model first: what the editor actually knows about your codebase, how indexing and context really work, and why the same prompt succeeds on Monday and hallucinates on Friday. Then the practice, in order: Tab, inline edit, chat, agent mode, rules that survive a growing repo, and the habits that keep a fast editor from producing fast messes. Visual, hands-on, and honest about where agentic coding helps and where it quietly costs you.
