Cursor

Cursor is an AI-native code editor built as a fork of VS Code, designed from the ground up for AI-powered development. Its standout feature is Composer, an agentic system that can edit multiple files simultaneously while maintaining context across your entire project. Cursor runs up to 8 agents in parallel, each working in isolated git worktrees to prevent conflicts and enable safe experimentation. The editor includes 10+ specialized tools including semantic search that understands code meaning, file read/write operations, terminal execution, and even browser automation for testing. Users can perform multi-file refactoring across 12+ files in a single operation, with the AI understanding dependencies and impacts across the codebase. Cursor supports multiple AI models including Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-4o, and custom models, allowing developers to choose the best model for each task. The editor maintains VS Code compatibility, so all your favorite extensions work seamlessly while adding powerful AI capabilities on top.
