Cursor (the editor)

Distinct from Cursor Agent, the CLI. The IDE just opens the worktree.

What is Cursor (the editor)?

Cursor the editor and Cursor Agent the CLI are two different products. Watchfire integrates with the CLI; the editor cooperates the same way VS Code does — by opening the worktree.

Cursor (the editor) + Watchfire

  • Distinct from Cursor Agent — Watchfire integrates with the headless CLI as a backend, but the editor itself is just an editor.
  • Open the worktree folder in Cursor when you want to see the task's diff with Cursor's chat alongside it.
  • Cursor's in-editor agent and Watchfire are independent — they can coexist in the same checkout without conflict.
