My first thought was, "meh, I already have Claude Code". But then I remembered my primary frustration with Claude Code. I need other LLMs to be able to validate Claude Code's assumptions and work. I need to do this in an automated way. Before Cursor CLI, I did not have a way to programmatically ask Cursor do this. It was very manual, very painful. But, now I can create a Claude Code agent that is a "cursor-specialist" that uses cursor cli to do all of that in an automated way.

#42They realized that CLI is the much better interface for these kinds of tasks.

Interesting, are you saying you would setup a Stop Hook in Claude Code that calls the Cursor CLI to have it validate and prompt Claude Code with further instructions?

#44I wonder when all of them will adopt AGENT.md and stop using gemini.md/claude.md/crush.md/summary.md/qwen.md https://agent.md [redirect -> https://ampcode.com/AGENT.md ] https://agent-rules.org
That's a more obvious (but less fun) name than what I've been using: ROBOTS.md with symlinks.

Think how many JavaScript frameworks can be vibe coded now!
(This is an exaggeration:) Sure, you can have your LLM code with any JavaScript framework you want, as long as you don't mind it randomly dropping React code and React-isms in the middle of your app.
It’s not a real JS framework without JSX support and Typescript types that generate page long errors.

Flip your thinking around for a second and consider why an IDE is required for an agent that codes for you? The IDE/editor is for me, the agent doesn't need it. That also means I am not forced to used whatever imperfect forked IDE the agent is implemented against.
I don't really need an IDE, but I do need a great code review interface.
As someone who hasn’t used Claude Code yet, can’t you configure it somehow to use a different tool of your liking, or it has to be in the cli?
Re: Cursor CLI
#48With all the frontier labs competing in this space now, and them letting you use your consumer subscription through the CLI, I don’t understand how the Cursor products will survive. Why pay an extra $X/mo when I can get this functionality included in the $Y/mo I’m already paying OAI/Anthropic/GOOG?

they also suggest using symlinks for now
