The flagship: AI-augmented code reviewit exists as a shipped product

Cursor's security team describes agent-assisted security review making deep review of every change tenable, catching vulnerabilities and blocking issues at CI before they reach production. This module calls the core idea routing by importance: engage deeply on the PRs that touch sensitive code, not everywhere. The shipped first-party version is Security Review (launched Sep 23, 2026, on Teams and Enterprise plans). It reads every PR and posts one comment with a severity, an attack path and a proposed fix for each exploitable bug. It skips draft PRs, and BugbotCursor's automated PR reviewer that posts inline findings and can push fix commits from isolated VMs. Press Enter for the full definition. keeps style and quality.

The flagship project as a flow: the module's model of the design, not Cursor's documented internals. The CI gate is where it would block a merge.

Interview move

For any project you're asked about, follow the pattern: name the project, name the design tradeoff, name the adoption risk. "I'd build the review agent to gate CI on auth/crypto diffs, tune for precision over recall because a noisy bot gets muted and measure the catch rate against developer-reported friction." Three sentences and you sound like you've operated it.
