The Step-by-Step Refactoring Process

  • Step 1: Use Ctrl+I / Cmd+I to open Cursor’s Composer panel.
  • Step 2: Tag your relevant files. Type @ followed by the filenames of your controller, model, and routing configurations to load them into the context.
  • Step 3: Instruct the refactoring goals. (e.g., “Refactor this controller to use clean MVC architecture. Extract database queries into a separate service file”).
  • Step 4: Review the changes side-by-side using the green and red diff highlights. Accept the changes only after running your unit tests.
