Description
Description
Cursor provides a debug mode that runs through a structured process to identify the root cause of a bug and fix it.
Requirements
The debug agent:
- Prompts the user to describe the issue in detail, with any hypotheses they might have
- Creates its own set of hypotheses as to what could cause the bug
- Instruments the code with debugging logs to test the various hypotheses. Usually it sends the logs to a custom http server
- Once that's done, it provides instructions to the user on how to reproduce the issue to test the hypotheses
- After the use has reproduced the issue, you hit the "Proceed" button
- Cursor reads the logs it captured
- If it finds out that one of the hypotheses was correct, it puts a fix in place
- Next, it gives you instructions to reproduce once more to confirm the fix
- If the fix works, you can hit a "mark as fixed" button
- At that time, it will remove all debugging code leaving the fix in place.
In the end, it provides a very structured way to narrow down bugs in a structured, interactive way. I actually still use this quite regularly over Claude Code when debugging an issue because I find the flow directs me to the root cause of the bug, even using the Composer 2 model which is not as good as Opus!
