Cursor extends the traditional VS Code architecture with deep AI integration. Its embedded CLI (`cursor` or `agent`) allows headless execution of AI tasks. Agents can discover and apply Agent Skills dynamically via the terminal, enabling complex multi-file refactoring and codebase queries directly from external scripts or background CI processes.
