Frequently Asked Questions
Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on VS Code. Unlike Copilot (which works inline in existing editors), Cursor has a Composer mode that accepts large context windows - making it ideal for pasting entire UI components and giving structural instructions.
For a single component, paste the full HTML and CSS of the element you want to modify or rebuild. For a page layout, capture the key sections (hero, nav, footer). More specific context produces more accurate output.
Yes. Paste the HTML, ask Cursor to convert it to a React functional component with TypeScript, and it will generate the component, props interface, and CSS-in-JS or module CSS as needed.
