First up of course - the new Composer agent!!
This is how you enable it.
1. Enable it in your composer chat window
or
2. Set the Enable Tools option in Settings > Editor > Chat & Composer

Testing it on a small old wordpress plugin with 34 files across 2 folders (ignoring .git and vendor folders).
It picked up the main functionality well and selected the key files to review.
Although i am not sure it considers files in lower level sub folders.
The agent then went ahead and reviewed the files and recommended 4 enhancements that it implemented.
Changed 2 files and moved some key views into separate files creating the new folder and the new files.
Then it summarized the changes it made.
580 or so changes - around 48% of lines in this plugin.

The new experience is very smooth.
1. Composer (CMD+Shift+I) is now a tab in your editor just like a file - which for me is a much better choice then the custom overlay UI.
2. Diffs are shown inline in the composer chat so you can read through and accept them there - or open the file to edit.
3. Applying change seem instant as well!

I did have an issue where the composer keyboard shortcuts had reset - so I had to manually reset the cmd+shift+i and cmd+i shortcuts.
Not sure if this is a bug - or whether its because I tested copilot before I updated and it hijacked the shortcut.
Also - what happened to Notebooks @shaoruu ?

Also a suggested improvement - the file action bar in composer is only shown at the top.
This means after you are done reviewing the diff on larger files - you have to scroll back to the top.
Would me nice @shaoruu if the action bar stayed pinned at the top or was also shown at the bottom of each file diff.

Next feature: Bugfinder
@kinopee_ai had reported on this hidden feature a while back.
As he mentioned: its expensive!!!
I didnt run it!

Besides those 2 main features,
1 - semantic search - great improvement that makes it much easier to find the files you need with a few characters. Consistent with how vscode searched!
2 - image drop - didnt really notice whats new. Seems the composer chat box changes colour a bit when you hover a file but didnt notice anything else.,
3. File pill recommendations - not seen this yet. Will update this thread with info when i see it.

Above video by @rudrankriyam shows the Cursor Composer Agent running terminal commands IN LINE!
And another example of agent terminal feature - this one not completely successful

@shaoruu WARNING: has the way composer chats charge changed ? This post may indicate it has and is much closer to windsurfs action pricing model:

@shaoruu Agent only works with Anthropic models. thanks for heads up @rudrankriyam

Looks like action pricing change for composer is the case now
But … if Haiku performs well then at least you can offset bigger charge and get 1/3rd of requests
Also note that the agent may not
cost you more as it does in a single response what would take you several responses previously.
