Try it
Act as a developer using Cursor. I have a backlog ticket for a simple landing page. [replaceable inputs: ticket spec, repo URL]. 1. Use Cursor's Background Agent feature. 2. Input the ticket spec as the prompt. 3. Wait for the agent to create a branch and PR. 4. Review the PR changes and test locally. 5. Do not merge until I confirm the code quality. 6. Report the time taken and any errors encountered. If the agent fails, stop and report the error log. Ensure no changes are pushed to main without my explicit approval.
