Introducing Debug Mode: Agents with runtime logs
Blog post from Cursor
Debug Mode is a new feature designed to enhance the debugging capabilities of coding agents by incorporating runtime information and human verification into the process. This mode allows users to describe bugs in detail, after which the agent generates multiple hypotheses and instruments the code with logging statements to collect data during bug reproduction. By analyzing runtime logs, the agent identifies the root cause and suggests precise fixes, reducing the need for speculative code changes. Users verify the proposed fix by reproducing the bug again, ensuring that the solution is both technically effective and contextually appropriate. This iterative human-in-the-loop approach allows for efficient resolution of complex bugs, leveraging the strengths of both AI and human judgment to handle intricate debugging tasks.
