Improvements to Cursor Automations

This release brings significant enhancements to automations, simplifying their creation with default pull request opening and the ability to save work in progress. Users now benefit from expanded event triggers, including issue comments, PR review comments, review submissions, thread updates, and workflow run completions, enabling more comprehensive automation workflows. Memory file deletion through the UI or prompts provides greater control. These updates offer developers a more robust and flexible automation experience.

Changed

  • **Issue comment:** when a comment is made on a non-PR issue
  • **PR review comment:** when an inline comment is left on a pull request diff
  • **PR review submitted:** when a PR review is submitted
  • **Review thread updated:** when a review thread on a pull request is marked resolved or unresolved
  • **Workflow run completed:** when a GitHub Actions workflow run finishes on a pull request or branch
  • Automations can now be saved in an incomplete state, so you can navigate away to set up an MCP auth without losing your progress
  • Automations can now open PRs by default; so you no longer have to specify that tool in the UI
  • You can now delete memory files in the UI, or prompt your automation to delete outdated memories when it runs
