Summary

Cursor’s April 14, 2026 changelog introduced Debug Mode in the Cursor CLI plus /btw support and related terminal workflow fixes. The update pushes Cursor’s agent experience further into the command line, not just the editor and Agents Window.

What changed

Cursor added Debug Mode in its CLI to investigate root causes before fixing bugs, added /btw support, and shipped related CLI workflow and shell handling improvements.

Why it matters

This expands Cursor’s coding-agent surface deeper into terminal-native debugging and repair workflows. It also reinforces Cursor’s recent product direction toward multi-surface agent execution across the editor, Agents Window, and CLI.

Evidence excerpt

Apr 14, 2026: CLI Debug Mode and /btw Support. Use /debug to find root causes and fix tricky bugs that are hard to reproduce or understand. In Debug Mode, Cursor generates hypotheses, adds log statements, and uses runtime information to pinpoint the issue before making a targeted fix.
