How this automation works

Launch a Cursor agent each day to run repository tasks automatically. It runs at the time you choose with Date & Time and starts a new Cursor cloud agent on the GitHub repository you specify. This is useful for developers and DevOps teams who want nightly test runs, automated inspections, or routine maintenance using Cursor and GitHub.
