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.

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.

.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cursor supports Claude Series 5 (Sonnet 5, Opus 5), Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Cursor's Composer 2.5, GPT-5.6, Gemini 3.8 Flash, and Grok 4.5. Auto mode intelligently routes to the optimal model for each task.
