Bridge Cursor Outputs to Terminal Execution

Execute Cursor's generated commands safely in persistent terminal sessions

Cursor

$5 free credits • Pay-as-you-go • Works with your existing tools

The problems you face today

Copy-pasting Cursor commands loses context and safety
Direct bridge with review mode before execution
Foreground terminal sessions may not persist across app reloads; Shell Mode commands do not persist state
Editor-embedded terminals are tied to the editor/agent lifecycle; bridging to PlanToCode adds persistent PTY sessions with ring-buffered history.
Limited built-in process health insights in editor terminals
Bridge adds real-time terminal health indicators and monitoring in PlanToCode

How it works

Voice-controlled execution - provided by PlanToCode
Real-time terminal health monitoring - provided by PlanToCode

Technical implementation

Intelligent File Discovery

Hierarchical folder selection, pattern filtering, and AI relevance assessment

  • Root folder selection based on task
  • Targeted regex pattern groups
  • LLM analyzes actual file contents
  • Automatic dependency detection
  • Files organized into XML for LLM consumption

Multi-Model Planning

Generate multiple implementation approaches using different AI models, then synthesize the best solution

  • OpenAI GPT‑5 family (GPT‑5 and GPT‑5 Thinking/Pro), historical o‑series (e.g., o3 variants); Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1; Google Gemini 2.5 Pro - availability and features vary by plan and endpoint (ChatGPT vs API).
  • AI architect merges best insights
  • Your guidance shapes the merge

Use official vendor docs to confirm features like streaming, function calling, and background mode for each model.
