Cursor + InstaCloud

Cursor is an AI-native code editor with Composer 2 for multi-file plans, Tab autocomplete, and Background Agents that run while you keep editing. It indexes your codebase up front so every change has full context. Run `npx -y insta setup agent` once and the insta CLI plus the InstaCloud agent skill are installed for every coding agent on your machine — any OS, any shell. From the first prompt it knows how to create projects, add postgres, storage, and compute, pull secrets into .env, branch a full environment per feature, and deploy.

    Develop your project

    Ask Cursor to build and deploy an app on InstaCloud

    prompt

    Build a todo app with Postgres for the data, then deploy it on InstaCloud and send me the live URL

Example Prompts

  • Ship this repo and send me the live URL

  • This app needs a database, set one up and connect it

  • The deploy just failed, figure out why and fix it

  • Upgrade the app to 2 vCPUs before tomorrow's launch

  • Branch the whole environment so I can try this migration safely

  • Run three agents on this project without them stepping on each other

  • Promote the preview branch to main

  • Pull the project secrets into .env so I can run it locally
