Turn a short ticket into a landing page
Cursor’s background agent made a pricing page from a brief spec, opened a PR, and let the developer review it before shipping.
- What they did
- Moritz Kremb switched Cursor to Background and gave it a compact brief for a pricing page, similar to a task he would hand to a junior developer. The agent handled the work on a fresh branch by itself, then sent back a notification with a summary and a pull request link.
- How it went
- The full cycle took about 5 minutes. He inspected the pull request, ran the page locally, and then pushed it into production. BugBot did not flag any problems on the PR, and he says he is still using this only for simple features.
- Tips
- Best for narrow, well-scoped changes where the expected result is clear. He also limits BugBot to PR comments because Max mode is pricey.
Try it yourself with Cursor
In [repo name], make a [landing page / pricing page] from this brief: [describe the sections, copy, pricing tiers, and any style notes]. Use a new branch, follow the repository’s existing patterns, and keep the implementation consistent with the current design system. Before you create a pull request, pause and show me a short summary of the diff for approval. Once I approve, open the PR with a concise change log. Stop and ask first before any irreversible step, including sending, deleting, submitting, or paying.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
