Programme Objectives

  • Develop expertise in using Cursor for advanced software development, codebase analysis, debugging, refactoring, testing, technical documentation, and enterprise IT delivery.
  • Architect reusable agentic development workflows combining codebase context, terminal tools, Rules, MCP integrations, Hooks, Cloud Agents, and automated review.
  • Integrate Cursor with repositories, APIs, databases, development tools, and private enterprise environments while maintaining controlled permissions.
  • Optimise software-delivery workflows through parallel agents, automated testing, code review, security analysis, and structured release processes.
  • Apply enterprise-grade controls for source code, secrets, network access, prompt injection, change management, auditability, and human approval.

TOC Modules

Concepts
  • Understanding Cursor Agent architecture across Instructions → Model → Tools → Codebase → Action
  • Exploring file editing, code search, terminal execution, web research, and multi-step autonomous development
  • Mapping Requirement → Plan → Build → Test → Review → Release
Practical activities

  • Designing an agent-assisted development lifecycle for an IT team

Scenarios

Production Incident to Governed Software Resolution

Production Incident → Logs & Evidence → Cursor Agent Investigation → Codebase Analysis → Root-Cause Hypothesis → Engineer Validation → Agent-Assisted Fix → Automated Tests → Agent Review / Bugbot → Security Review → Pull Request → Human Approval → Controlled Release

Participants use Cursor across the full incident-resolution lifecycle while preserving technical evidence, regression testing, code review, security controls, and authorised production approval.

Enterprise Requirement to Parallel Agent Delivery

Business / IT Requirement → Architecture Review → Cursor Plan → Rules & Hooks → Parallel Cloud Agents → Application + API + Integration Changes → MCP-Connected Validation → Automated Testing → Bugbot / Security Review → Human PR Review → Approved Release

Participants architect a governed multi-agent delivery workflow in which specialised Agent tasks operate in parallel while organisational standards, external-system permissions, security controls, review evidence, and final release authority remain under accountable human ownership.
