I haven't used background tasks/agents in cursor. Could you provide an example for stuff that you use it for?


This week, I remember giving it these tasks:

- Upgrade our NodeJS version because it just got deprecated

- Upgrade our linter to the newest version, add a new rule, and fix all instances of that rule in our code

- Make minor changes to our UI

- Fix small bugs that I know how to fix, and can tell it exactly what to do

The main pain point they're solving for me is that I have many small tasks I need to do. Coding them isn't the main bottleneck, but creating a new branch and then creating a new PR is the main bottleneck for me. With cursor specifically, I don't even have to check out the branch locally to verify the code.

For any significant work, I'd rather manually do it in editor.
