# Cursor Advanced Composer Advanced patterns for Cursor Composer including agent orchestration, complex multi-file refactoring, architecture migrations, and quality-control workflows. ## Agent Mode Deep Dive In Agent mode, Composer autonomously chains tool calls: reading files, searching the codebase, running terminal commands, and writing code. It operates in a loop until the task is complete or it hits the 25-tool-call limit. ### Agent Tool Capabilities | Tool | What it does | Approval needed? | |------|-------------|------------------| | Read file | Reads any file in workspace | No | | Search codebase | Semantic + text search | No | | Write file | Creates or overwrites files | Shows diff first | | Edit file | Modifies sections of files | Shows diff first | | Run terminal command | Executes shell commands | Yes (click Allow) | | List directory | Browses folder structure | No | ### Controlling Agent Behavior Give the agent constraints in your prompt: ``` Migrate all React class components in src/components/ to functional components with hooks. Constraints: - Do NOT modify test files - Preserve all existing prop types - Replace lifecycle methods with useEffect equivalents - Keep the same file names and export structure - Run `npm test` after each file to verify ``` ### Checkpoint Pattern For large refactors, use explicit checkpoints: ``` Phase 1: Create the new database schema types in src/types/schema-v2.ts. Show me the types before proceeding. Phase 2:...
