+# Adding New Cursor Models to AutoMaker
+
+This guide explains how to add new Cursor CLI models to AutoMaker. The process involves updating a single file with automatic propagation to the UI.
+
+## Overview
+
+Cursor models are defined in `libs/types/src/cursor-models.ts`. This file contains:
+
+- `CursorModelId` - Union type of all valid model IDs
+- `CursorModelConfig` - Interface for model metadata
+- `CURSOR_MODEL_MAP` - Record mapping model IDs to their configs
+
+The UI automatically reads from `CURSOR_MODEL_MAP`, so adding a model there makes it available everywhere.
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-Step Guide
+
+### Step 1: Add the Model ID to the Type
+
+Open `libs/types/src/cursor-models.ts` and add your model ID to the `CursorModelId` union type:
+
+```typescript
+export type CursorModelId =
+  | 'auto'
+  | 'claude-sonnet-4'
+  | 'claude-sonnet-4-thinking'
+  | 'composer-1'
+  | 'gpt-4o'
+  | 'gpt-4o-mini'
+  | 'gemini-2.5-pro'
+  | 'o3-mini'
+  | 'your-new-model'; // <-- Add your model here
+```
+
+### Step 2: Add the Model Config to the Map
+
+In the same file, add an entry to `CURSOR_MODEL_MAP`:
+
+```typescript
+export const CURSOR_MODEL_MAP: Record<CursorModelId, CursorModelConfig> = {
+  // ... existing models ...
+
+  'your-new-model': {
+    id: 'your-new-model',
+    label: 'Your New Model', // Display name in UI
+    description: 'Description of the model capabilities',
+    hasThinking: false, // true if model has built-in reasoning
+    supportsVision: false, // true if model supports image inputs (currently all false)
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### Step 3: Rebuild the Types Package
+
+After making changes, rebuild the types package:
+
+```bash
+npm run build -w @automaker/types
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify the Changes
+
+The new model will automatically appear in:
+
+- **Add Feature Dialog** > Model tab > Cursor CLI section
+- **Edit Feature Dialog** > Model tab > Cursor CLI section
+- **AI Profiles** > Create/Edit Profile > Cursor provider > Model selection
+- **Settings** > Cursor tab > Model configuration
+
+---
+
+## Model Config Fields
+
+| Field            | Type      | Description                                                     |
+| ---------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `id`             | `string`  | Must match the key in the map and the CLI model ID              |
+| `label`          | `string`  | Human-readable name shown in UI                                 |
+| `description`    | `string`  | Tooltip/help text explaining the model                          |
+| `hasThinking`    | `boolean` | Set `true` if model has built-in extended thinking              |
+| `supportsVision` | `boolean` | Set `true` if model supports image inputs (all false currently) |
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Automatic UI Integration
+
+The UI components read from `CURSOR_MODEL_MAP` at runtime:
+
+1. **model-constants.ts** imports `CURSOR_MODEL_MAP` and creates `CURSOR_MODELS` array
+2. **ModelSelector** component renders Cursor models from this array
+3. **ProfileForm** component uses the map for Cursor model selection
+
+### Provider Routing
+
+When a feature uses a Cursor model:
+
+1. The model string is stored as `cursor-{modelId}` (e.g., `cursor-composer-1`)
+2. `ProviderFactory.getProviderNameForModel()` detects the `cursor-` prefix
+3. `CursorProvider` is used for execution
+4. The model ID (without prefix) is passed to the Cursor CLI
+
+---
+
+## Example: Adding a Hypothetical Model
+
+Let's add a hypothetical "cursor-turbo" model:
+
+```typescript
+// In libs/types/src/cursor-models.ts
+
+// Step 1: Add to type
+export type CursorModelId =
+  | 'auto'
+  | 'claude-sonnet-4'
+  // ... other models ...
+  | 'cursor-turbo'; // New model
+
+// Step 2: Add to map
+export const CURSOR_MODEL_MAP: Record<CursorModelId, CursorModelConfig> = {
+  // ... existing entries ...
+
+  'cursor-turbo': {
+    id: 'cursor-turbo',
+    label: 'Cursor Turbo',
+    description: 'Optimized for speed with good quality balance',
+    hasThinking: false,
+    supportsVision: false,
+  },
+};
+```
+
+After rebuilding, "Cursor Turbo" will appear in all model selection UIs.
+
+---
+
+## Checklist
+
+- [ ] Added model ID to `CursorModelId` type
+- [ ] Added config entry to `CURSOR_MODEL_MAP`
+- [ ] Rebuilt types package (`npm run build -w @automaker/types`)
+- [ ] Verified model appears in Add Feature dialog
+- [ ] Verified model appears in AI Profiles form
+- [ ] Tested execution with new model (if Cursor CLI supports it)
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- The model ID must exactly match what Cursor CLI expects
+- Check Cursor's documentation for available models: https://cursor.com/docs
+- Models with `hasThinking: true` display a "Thinking" badge in the UI
+- Currently all models have `supportsVision: false` as Cursor CLI doesn't pass images to models
