Map of the site for agents: https://agenticfeats.com/llms.txt # Cursor use cases: 19 real examples Agentic Feats lists 19 sourced examples of Cursor in real work; 11 link the artifact; most common job type: coding (8). Newest first. ## Feats, newest first - [NSF project summary drafting](https://agenticfeats.com/c/nsf-project-summary-drafting-cursor.md) (Cursor; Claim; 2026-10-13): The author used Cursor in Agent mode with Claude 3.7 Sonnet and two rules files to draft an NSF Project Summary from two papers. Result: The draft was usable but weaker than accepted NSF summaries; thinking mode helped, though it began hallucinating and misreading the sources. - [Blog drafts from Obsidian notes](https://agenticfeats.com/c/blog-drafts-from-obsidian-notes-cursor.md) (Cursor; Claim; 2026-10-13): The author set Cursor to imitate their note.com writing style and read their Obsidian vault, then had it draft blog articles quoting past reading highlights. Result: Cursor drafted an article on their reading trends in their style, citing Kindle highlights from the vault. The author edited it by hand. - [Terraform via MCP in Cursor](https://agenticfeats.com/c/terraform-via-mcp-in-cursor.md) (Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): The author used Cursor with the tfmcp MCP server to run terraform init, plan and apply, provisioning a Postgres database, schema and app role locally. Result: Provisioning worked after two fixes. The MCP hid the real errors, so apply ran through Cursor's Run tool, which suggested the fix. - [Pricing page via background agent](https://agenticfeats.com/c/pricing-page-via-background-agent-cursor.md) (Cursor; Numbers; 2026-10-13): Cursor's background agent built a pricing landing page from a short spec, working on its own branch and opening a pull request. Result: The agent finished the page in about 5 minutes; the author reviewed the PR, tested locally, and merged it to production. - [Cursor as everyday work agent](https://agenticfeats.com/c/cursor-as-everyday-work-agent.md) (Claude Code, Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): The author used Cursor for two months to rename invoice files, send invoice emails, build KPI simulations, and make slides. Result: Twelve demoed workflows, including a KPI model turned into a web app and no-code Jupyter analysis; no time or money figures are given. - [Newsletter and posts in own voice](https://agenticfeats.com/c/newsletter-and-posts-in-own-voice-cursor.md) (Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): The author built a Cursor workflow turning raw notes into a newsletter, LinkedIn posts and tweet threads in their own voice. Result: A messy one-line note became a 2000-3000 word newsletter plus LinkedIn and Twitter drafts; the post itself says it was generated this way and published. - [Figma design to HTML](https://agenticfeats.com/c/figma-design-to-html-cursor.md) (Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): Cursor, connected to Figma's Dev Mode MCP, turned a selected Figma design into HTML and CSS from one prompt containing the design URL. Result: One prompt produced the thumbnail section with accurate colours, layout and button hover states, and it beat the earlier Lovable attempt built from static images. - [Cursor workflows for DevOps](https://agenticfeats.com/c/cursor-workflows-for-devops.md) (Cursor; Claim; 2026-10-13): Cursor was used by a DevOps engineer with rules files, MCP plugins, and auto-run commands to refactor configs, debug builds, and migrate infrastructure code. Result: The author migrated 10+ Lambda functions from Node.js 14 to 20 in one pass and fixed a broken docker-compose file by auto-retrying until clean. - [Consulting jargon minigame collection](https://agenticfeats.com/c/consulting-jargon-minigame-collection-cursor.md) (Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): Alvin Leung used ChatGPT to refine a game concept, then Cursor Agent mode to generate a four-minigame Python tkinter game themed on consulting life. Result: A playable game with four minigames, persistent high scores, and no external dependencies was built in a couple of hours, with source code on GitHub. - [Mental models framework built with agents](https://agenticfeats.com/c/mental-models-framework-built-with-agents-claude-code.md) (Claude Code, Cursor, Other; Numbers; 2026-10-13): A solo founder gave Claude, ChatGPT, Windsurf, and Cursor defined roles to build and deploy a 120-model mental models framework. Result: The author shipped 120 models, an MCP server for Claude Desktop, and 140 chaos tests with a 100% pass rate over 22 months. - [App review analysis for PMs](https://agenticfeats.com/c/app-review-analysis-for-pms-cursor.md) (Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): Cursor analyzed a CSV of a couple thousand Walmart App Store reviews and returned takeaways with ASCII diagrams. Result: In 30 seconds it returned top complaints ranked by frequency, a severity versus frequency matrix, and a user journey map showing where frustration peaks. - [Fixing a slow page with indexes](https://agenticfeats.com/c/fixing-a-slow-page-with-indexes-cursor.md) (Cursor; Claim; 2026-10-13): Cursor's agent listed likely causes of a production-only slowdown, traced NestJS database queries, and recommended which database indexes to add. Result: After the author added the suggested indexes, page load performance improved significantly in production. - [Hundreds of agents build a browser](https://agenticfeats.com/c/hundreds-of-agents-build-a-browser-cursor.md) (Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): Cursor ran hundreds of concurrent coding agents, split into planners and workers, on one project for close to a week to build a web browser. Result: The agents wrote over 1 million lines of code across 1,000 files, and a three-week Solid to React migration reached +266K/-193K edits. - [Reverse engineering a Go binary](https://agenticfeats.com/c/reverse-engineering-a-go-binary-cursor.md) (Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): Cursor, connected to Ghidra through a GhidraMCP server, analyzed a stripped Golang HTTP binary and identified its libraries, API routes, and file structure. Result: The agent rebuilt readable Go source from the stripped binary, but got some route paths wrong, such as /my-messages instead of /me/messages. - [Office documents built by agents](https://agenticfeats.com/c/office-documents-built-by-agents-claude-code.md) (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot agent, Other; Shown; 2026-10-13): AI agents use the OfficeCLI binary to create and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, and check them through HTML or PNG rendering. Result: The repo shows sample decks, Word documents, and Excel workbooks, all created by agents with no templates and no manual editing. - [Dependency and framework upgrade](https://agenticfeats.com/c/dependency-and-framework-upgrade-cursor.md) (Cursor; Shown; 2026-10-13): Cursor listed outdated packages by upgrade difficulty, then upgraded them in stages, including Remix v2 to React Router v7 on a 42k-line site. Result: The author upgraded kentcdodds.com across all dependency tiers, finishing a Remix v2 to React Router v7 migration with routing matching the original structure. - [Multi-agent stock analysis pipeline](https://agenticfeats.com/c/multi-agent-stock-analysis-pipeline-cursor.md) (ChatGPT agent, Cursor, Custom agent; Shown; 2026-10-13): The author built a LangGraph system where valuation, sentiment and fundamental agents plus a coordinator rate four stocks and backtest the resulting portfolio.
