You might be asking it too much, or not giving it enough context.

I've found the Cursor Agent to work great when you give it a narrow scope and plenty of examples.

Perhaps, but at that point I feel like I'm spending more time feeding the tool the right prompt and context, going back and forth with corrections, etc... when I could just write the code myself with less time and hassle.

I've definitely had far more success with using AI as a fuzzy search or asking it for one-off pieces of functionality. Any time I ask it to interact directly inside my codebase, it usually fails.
