Cursor 1.7: Browser Controls, Plan Mode & Hooks Beta

TL;DR

• Agent can now take screenshots and control browsers for UI debugging
• Plan Mode lets agents write detailed strategies before tackling complex tasks
• Hooks (beta) let you observe and customize Agent behavior with custom scripts
• Sandboxed terminals add security; Bugbot now auto-generates PR summaries

New

• Browser Controls — Agent can take screenshots, improve UI, and debug client-side issues directly
• Plan Mode — Agent writes detailed plans before starting complex tasks, enabling longer, more strategic runs
• Autocomplete for Agent — Prompt suggestions appear based on recent changes; tab to accept and attach files to context
• Hooks (beta) — Custom scripts let you observe, control, and extend Agent behavior at runtime; audit usage, block commands, or redact secrets
• Team Rules — Define and share global rules from the dashboard applied across all projects and Bugbot
• Shareable Deeplinks (beta) — Generate deeplinks for reusable prompts; useful for documentation and team workflows
• Sandboxed Terminals — Commands execute in secure sandbox; non-allowlisted commands run with workspace access but no internet
• PR Summaries from Bugbot — Auto-generates GitHub PR summaries that update as you push changes
• Menubar Agent Monitor — Check Agent status directly from your menubar
• Image File Support for Agent — Agent can read image files directly from your workspace, not just pasted images

Improved

• Code pasted from files and terminal now explicitly mentioned in Chat for clarity
• Agent shell detection fixed — correctly uses PowerShell on Windows and when set as default on macOS/Linux, preventing Bash syntax errors
