How this automation works

Launch a Cursor agent automatically from RSS Feed items that match a keyword you choose. The Applet runs whenever a new item in the RSS Feed contains your keyword and starts a Cursor agent using the repository and instructions you provide. It's ideal for developers and maintainers who monitor RSS Feed updates and want Cursor to pick up work referenced in posts, such as applying fixes or opening pull requests on GitHub repositories.
