Cursor /review — agent-led pull request review
Use Cursor's built-in /review (and related /review-bugbot, /review-security) to get severity-ordered PR findings before a human merges.
- What it does
- Walks Cursor Agent through PR diffs against project context: risk hotspots, missing tests, contract breaks, and draft review comments you can paste into Origin/GitHub.
- Best for
- Small teams without a dedicated reviewer on every PR, or maintainers drowning in drive-by contributions.
- How to install / use
- In Cursor, run /review on the branch or diff (or /review-bugbot / /review-security as needed). Attach project rules. Ask for findings ordered by severity. Do not auto-merge — human owns the merge button.
Copy this
- Require severity tags: blocker / should-fix / nit
- Ban vague praise; every comment must cite a file path
- Run the same checklist the team uses in manual review
When to use
Use Cursor’s built-in /review (and related /review-bugbot, /review-security) when a pull request is ready for first-pass review and you want structured findings before a human merges.
