It’s late afternoon and you’re vibe coding. You’ve been editing different parts of your codebase, building your vision step by step. You pause sometimes to review, but mostly you’re moving forward to make it work. As your project grows, keeping track of everything becomes tricky. Code that worked perfectly yesterday suddenly breaks today, and you’re not sure why. You keep switching between files and conversations, losing your flow. There’s no clear picture of what’s happening, making you wonder if you’re making real progress.

With Cursor Planning, you can map out your entire vision in one simple interface. Just outline what you want to build and mention specific agents like @Architect, @Tester, @Backend, or @Frontend. Your Architect quickly draws up a technical spec that makes sense. The Tester builds comprehensive tests from the start, so new code fits in smoothly. Backend and Frontend agents work together, following the same plan and writing great code without needing constant supervision. You can see everything happening in real-time, all in the same interface.

“Last week I needed to build a user dashboard that required database work, API endpoints, and a React frontend. Instead of jumping between tools and contexts, I simply wrote ‘Create a user dashboard with @Architect, @Tester, @Backend, and @Frontend’ and watched it come together. The Architect mapped everything out clearly, and after a quick check from me, the Tester created a complete test suite. Then the Backend built solid API endpoints while the Frontend created a beautiful interface—all happening at the same time while I worked on something else. When I came back, not only was everything done, but it worked perfectly the first time I tested it. I saved an entire day of work!”
