Cursor CLI gains plan handoff to cloud and inline Mermaid diagram rendering
· releasefeatureplatform · cursor.com ↗

Plan Mode Improvements

The CLI now displays a persistent decision menu when plans are generated, allowing developers to choose between building locally or executing in the cloud. The /plan command provides quick access to the current plan and its action menu, while new keyboard shortcuts streamline navigation:

  • Arrow keys to navigate options
  • Enter to execute the selected option
  • Shift+Enter as a shortcut for "Build in cloud"

Mermaid ASCII Diagrams

Mermaid code blocks now render directly as ASCII diagrams within CLI conversations, supporting multiple diagram types:

  • Flowcharts
  • Sequence diagrams
  • State machines
  • Class diagrams
  • ER diagrams

Users can press Ctrl+O to toggle between the rendered ASCII visualization and the original Mermaid source code, making it easy to reference both representations.

Additional Improvements

Beyond the headline features, this release includes 42 improvements across tooling, UX, and reliability, with updates spread across general functionality, tools integration, user experience, and bug fixes.
