Examples

Basic Editing

# Insert import at line 1
cursor.py edit src/app.ts --line 1 --insert "import { useState } from 'react';"

# Replace function
cursor.py edit src/utils.ts --line 25 --replace "const newFunction = () => {};"

# Delete line
cursor.py edit src/temp.ts --line 10 --delete

AI-Powered Editing

# Add JSDoc comments
cursor.py ai "Add JSDoc comments to all exported functions" --file src/api.ts

# Generate tests
cursor.py ai "Create unit tests for this component" --file src/Button.tsx

# Refactor
cursor.py inline "Convert to TypeScript interface" --file src/types.js --line 5

Multi-File Operations

# Apply change across files
cursor.py ai "Update all console.log to logger.info" --glob "src/**/*.ts"

# Find and replace with AI understanding
cursor.py ai "Replace axios with fetch API in all files"

Integration with Other Skills

With Terminal

# Edit then test
terminal.run("npm run build")
cursor.open("src/error.ts", line=error_line)

With Git

# Make AI changes, then commit
cursor.ai("Optimize this function")
git.commit("Optimize function using AI suggestions")

With Debug

# Auto-fix errors
error = debug.parse_error(log)
cursor.inline(f"Fix: {error.message}", file=error.file, line=error.line)

Workflow Examples

Feature Implementation

# 1. Open file
cursor.py open src/feature.ts

# 2. AI generates code
cursor.py ai "Add a login function with JWT validation"

# 3. Review and edit
cursor.py edit src/feature.ts --line 20 --replace "// Improved version"

# 4. Save and test
terminal.py run "npm test"

Refactoring Pipeline

# 1. Find files to refactor
terminal.py run "find src -name '*.js'"

# 2. Open and refactor each
cursor.py ai "Convert to TypeScript" --file src/old.js

# 3. Check results
terminal.py run "npx tsc --noEmit"

Configuration

In ~/.cursor/settings.json:

{
  "cursor.cmdk.enabled": true,
  "cursor.ai.model": "claude-3.5-sonnet"
}

Tips

1. Use specific prompts - "Add input validation" vs "Fix this"
2. Provide context - Include file path and line numbers
3. Review AI output - Always check before committing
4. Combine with git - Easy rollback if needed

Error Handling

result = cursor.edit("file.ts", line=10, insert="code")
if result.success:
    print("✅ Edit successful")
