SWE Install Guide
SWE is a software engineering bot from Cursor, the company behind the Cursor code editor. It writes code, sorts and investigates issues and keeps watch on production systems, among other engineering jobs.
Because it comes from the makers of a coding tool, it is aimed at people who already work with code and repositories. Treat it like a capable new teammate: give it clear tasks, let it open changes for review and keep a person in charge of what reaches production. Monitoring is most useful when you tell it which alerts matter and who should hear about them. Small, well-scoped issues are the best place to start, because they are easy to check and show quickly how well it understands your codebase. As trust grows you can hand it larger pieces of work, while keeping tests and code review as the safety net.
It suits developers, small engineering teams and technical founders who want help with day-to-day engineering. Connect it to one repository first, start with small issues and review every change before merging.

Worked Example: A bug report
Example only: an illustration of how a session could go, not a real client, case or result.
- A customer reports that exports fail for large files.
- SWE triages the issue and finds the failing function.
- It writes a fix and a test, then opens a change for review.
- You review and merge it.
- It watches production and confirms the errors stop.
