@majoshma I use both Tab and Agent a lot. Tab is just Tab (I like the auto imports the best). I use Agent for Q&A, asking it a bunch of questions to trace down what kinds of errors might be happening. I often run the same prompt on multiple models to get different answers. And of

@n_s_bradford I make some sort of low level checklist myself, mentally create some sort of DAG, and then start giving big chunks to Cursor Agent while I do smaller chunks in Tab. I’m very careful about reviewing outputs instead of vibe coding (especially for things like schemas

@_nateschmidt Like @aye_aye_kaplan, I’ve fully seen the light with Agent. I want to do all of my work from Cursor: writing docs with Tab and MCPing them directly to Notion, updating tickets, creating architecture diagrams (even in Miro), and I find ways to do it. I do a lot of

dylan Something that’s been nice is using the GitHub integration for stuff I don’t even want to open the IDE for, like when CI fails or someone leaves a basic comment.

@jwhong137 I’ve actually been switching a lot more toward using Agent with GPT-5 for exploratory work, things like general understanding and “outline 3 ways I could achieve X.” Then I go in and do it myself with Tab.

yash I think the biggest one is I use code review with Agent all the time using @ Branch. Otherwise I just use Agent a lot, and use GPT-5 for planning and Sonnet 4.5 for edits.

@albrt_s_ For large features, I combine Ask mode to learn about the codebase, then Plan mode to create a step by step incremental plan, and then let the Agent execute it

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai Plan in cursor using multiple models to create a step by step implementation. Poke holes in it with other models in new chats. Hand it off to codex to implement fully (sorry team codex is just that good at the moment)

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai this thread makes me sad i had to switch back to vscode because of tsserver perf in cursor :( i still use background agents a ton

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai from tab to fully autonomous background agents, that range is wild. shows how personalized the human-ai blend really needs to be.

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai Idea: a video series showcasing the behind-the-scenes work of each engineer. We learned and spent happily more tokens.

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai It's cool seeing how each person tweaks their workflow. I love the idea of combining different modes to fit tasks-makes it feel more personalized. What's your go-to feature?

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai that's the beauty of tools like cursor

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai From tab tinkerer to background agent maestro, Cursor adapts to each developer's unique workflow symphony.
