Cursor Intermediate

Cursor's surface count makes uneven adoption worse, not better. One developer ships clean diffs from Composer with a tight .cursorrules. Another sets MAX mode on every prompt and burns through credits. A third runs three Background Agents in parallel without review. The reviewer sees all of this in the same PR queue.

Course objectives

  • Run one shared Cursor loop across the team.
  • Write a .cursorrules a new engineer can use on day one.
  • Compose Composer, Background Agents, and team-shared rules into one workflow.
  • Use Bugbot in the team's PR review process without creating noise.
  • Run a multi-agent task across worktrees without merge chaos.
  • Review an AI-assisted diff against a checklist.

Target audience

Engineers, senior developers, tech leads inside a team that has been using Cursor unevenly.

Prerequisites

  • At least two weeks of Cursor use on real work.
  • Familiar with Git, PRs, review.
  • Has read at least one AI-generated PR critically.
  • Has completed the pre-course self-assessment.

About the instructors: Rogier Muller & Vasilis Tsolis

Rogier Muller  is CTO of BlueMonks Group, an Amsterdam-based fintech compliance company, and co-founder of several companies. He`s a lifelong coder who moved early into AI-assisted software development. Today, he is the only person in the world to combine official ambassador roles across the three leading agentic engineering platforms: Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. Rogier has hosted numerous events worldwide and works closely with engineering teams, founders, and AI tooling companies on the practical adoption of agentic software development. His specific expertise is using agentic engineering in highly regulated environments, including but not limited to fintech, financial services, KYC/CDD, AML, GDPR, AFM-supervised contexts, auditability, data isolation, and compliance-heavy software delivery.

Vasilis Tsolis is a pioneer in document intelligence and agentic coding helping teams to change how they work across industries. He is an official Ambassador for Cursor, OpenAI Codex and n8n. He is the partner of Cognitiv+, an AI consultancy and software factory that helps organisations practically implement and adopt AI with enterprise confidence. He has co-founded several companies and trains development teams across the US and EU on AI-assisted coding, with a consistent focus on integrating it into real workflows without losing control of the codebase. Background: engineering and law, twenty years across AI, construction, energy, and tech.  Vasilis has worked with JPMorgan, Intel, PwC, and others along the way.

Module 1.
Where uneven Cursor adoption breaks things. Credit burn, inconsistent diffs, PR review fatigue. Round-the-room diagnostic.

Module 2.
.cursorrules as a living document. The team convention layer. Lab: room co-writes a .cursorrules for a supplied legacy codebase.

Module 3.
Tickets to implementation-ready briefs. Lab: each participant briefs a real ticket from their backlog.

Module 4.
Bugbot in the team's PR flow. Bugbot at 78% resolution rate is a real reviewer, not a toy. Configuring it with team rules. When to merge a Bugbot Autofix and when to reject. Lab: configure Bugbot for the team's actual repo and tune the rule set.

Module 5.
Multi-agent work without merge chaos. Cursor 3.2's /multitask plus Worktrees. When parallel agents help (independent files, independent features), when they hurt (shared modules, intertwined refactors). Lab: a multi-agent task implemented twice, once well, once badly, then compared.

Module 6.
Composing shared workflows. Background Agents plus Bugbot plus .cursorrules plus a team plugin marketplace listing. Three canonical compositions: automated PR review, new-engineer onboarding, design-to-code via Design Mode. Room builds one end to end.
