Cursor
Review the code Cursor helped write before it carries the business.
Cursor writes code in your own repository, with your own tools, so the result is an ordinary codebase that can be reviewed like any other. What changes is the pace: code arrives faster than anyone can comfortably read it.
Common failure modes
These turn up in fast-built apps whatever they were built with, once an app grows faster than anyone reviews it. Most can be fixed where the app is.
-
Large changes merged unread
An assistant can change many files to fix one bug. Changes that size need the same review as a colleague's pull request, and small, focused commits make that possible.
-
Tests that prove little
Tests written after the code, by the same assistant, can end up confirming what the code does rather than what it should do. The flows that make money need tests written from the requirement.
-
Repeated logic
Asked twice, an assistant may write the same logic twice. Two copies of a pricing rule or a permission check drift apart, and one of them ends up wrong.
-
Dependencies nobody chose
Every package an assistant adds is code you now depend on. Check that each one is needed, maintained, and the package you meant.
-
Secrets near the context
Environment files and keys belong outside the repository and outside what is shared with tools. A key that has been pasted into a prompt or committed is a key to rotate.
-
Architecture by accumulation
Each feature solved a different way adds up to a codebase nobody can hold in their head. Agreeing on a few patterns early keeps it changeable.
What the audit checks on an app built with Cursor
The code and product audit reads the code, not only what is visible from outside, and ranks every finding by what it means for the business. On an app built with Cursor, that includes:
- Architecture and structure: whether the code can carry the next year of the product.
- Authentication, authorisation and data access on every route.
- Tests: what they cover, and whether they would catch a real regression.
- Dependencies: their versions, licences and known vulnerabilities.
- Secrets in the repository, its history and the deployed bundle.
- CI, environments and deploys.
- Your product and business goals, from an interview, so every finding is ranked by what it means for the business.
Production-ready where you are
The default recommendation is to strengthen the codebase you have. A rewrite is recommended only when the audit shows it is worth the cost.
Run the free check on your app built with Cursor.
It scans what your app already shows the world, such as keys in its JavaScript, its headers, HTTPS and versions, and Aaron reviews the result within two business days. It runs only after you confirm by email and show the app is yours.
