Advantages of BugBot Over Manual Reviews

BugBot doesn't just look for technical bugs; it is also highly efficient at detecting file consistency issues, such as ensuring that documents translated into multiple languages (internationalization) are always updated simultaneously.

Bot Customization

If the existing BugBot is not enough, you can use Cursor CLI to build a custom review bot that follows your team's specific coding standards.

How to Use BugBot for Auto-Reviewing and Fixing Issues in GitHub

  1. Open a Pull Request (PR) in your GitHub repository that has been connected to Cursor.
  2. Deploy initial code changes or documentation using the AI agent in Cursor.
  3. If you want to make follow-up changes, go to the comment section in that GitHub PR.
  4. Type a comment by mentioning or tagging `@cursor` followed by the change instructions you want.
  5. Wait for Cursor to process the instructions and automatically commit the changes to that branch.
  6. Check the comment section to see feedback from 'BugBot'.
  7. Analyze BugBot's feedback (e.g., detecting missed updates in i18n/language files).
  8. Use BugBot's suggestions to fix those hidden errors before merging the PR.
