Cursor Advanced Composer

Overview

Use Composer for bounded multi-file proposals when a human owner can inspect the plan, diff, tests, and rollback before applying changes.

Prerequisites

• A defined task, affected-file boundary, repository rules, and a clean working tree or recoverable branch.
• Required test commands and a reviewer for changes that alter architecture, security, or data flow.

Instructions

1. Ask Composer for a plan and affected-file list before applying any edits.
2. Constrain it to the approved scope and provide acceptance checks/non-goals.
3. Inspect each diff, run focused validation, and split or reject changes that exceed scope.
4. Commit only reviewed, test-backed changes; retain a revert path.
