Anh-Thi Dinh
draft
⚠️
This is a quick & dirty draft, for me only!
Note: VSCode

Setting up

  • Move the Cursor Chat / Activity bar to the left: right click on the header of the chat and choose Move Secondary Side Bar Left.

Auto-run mode

⚠️
Use caution when enabling this option—it's disabled by default. Previously, this feature was known as SOLO mode.
It allows Agent to run tools without asking for confrimation, such as executing commands and writing to files.
