Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cursor Academy free?

Yes, 100% free. No sign-up, no credit card. All 13 modules, 21 lessons, and 65+ quizzes are immediately accessible. Progress saves locally in your browser.

What topics does the Cursor Academy cover?

The course covers Cursor installation, VS Code migration, Tab autocomplete, the Agent side pane with Agent/Plan/Ask modes, Inline Edit (Ctrl+K), Cursor Rules & AGENTS.md, Agent Skills, Hooks, MCP integration, Cloud Agents & Automations, Bugbot code review, the Agents Window, Canvases, the Cursor SDK, privacy & enterprise features, pricing plans, and power-user shortcuts.

Is Cursor better than GitHub Copilot?

Cursor excels at agentic workflows, multi-file editing, and autonomous coding with its Agent and unlimited parallel Cloud Agents. Copilot has better JetBrains support and enterprise compliance. This course teaches you to maximize Cursor's unique strengths.

What are .cursorrules?

.cursorrules (and the modern .cursor/rules/*.mdc format) are project-level configuration files that give Cursor's AI persistent instructions about your codebase coding standards, conventions, and behavior rules. Cursor also supports AGENTS.md, User Rules, and Team Rules.

Do I need programming experience?

No prerequisites required. The course starts from absolute basics (installation & setup) and progressively advances to expert topics like Cloud Agents, Hooks, MCP integration, and enterprise deployment.

Is my code safe with Cursor?

Yes. Cursor offers Privacy Mode on every plan with it enabled, your code is never used for training, and team members inherit their team's setting. Cursor is SOC 2 Type II certified with SAML SSO, SCIM, audit logs, and CMEK for enterprise security.

What does Cursor Pro cost?

Cursor Pro is $20/month. It includes unlimited Tab completions, a generous first-party pool for Auto, Composer 2.5, and Grok 4.5, plus a $20/month API-model allowance, Bugbot access, and Cloud Agents. Pro+ is $60 and Ultra is $200 with larger allowances.

Can I use my VS Code extensions in Cursor?

Yes! Cursor is a VS Code fork. All VS Code extensions, themes, keybindings, and settings work natively. On first launch, Cursor offers a one-click migration from VS Code.

What is Agent Mode?

The Agent (Ctrl+I) is Cursor's autonomous coding mode. It can plan changes, create/modify multiple files, run terminal commands, execute tests, and self-correct based on error output with automatic checkpoints so you can roll back any step. Plan Mode and read-only Ask Mode complete the picture.

What models does Cursor support?

Cursor supports Claude Fable 5, Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Sonnet 5, Cursor's own Composer 2.5, the GPT-5.6 family, Gemini 3.1 Pro / 3.5 Flash, and Grok 4.5. Auto mode intelligently routes to the optimal model for each task.
