Why Cursor apps benefit from a senior-engineer audit
Cursor is what real engineers use to build real apps — but the codebase still benefits from an outside review. We see Cursor projects with inconsistent error handling between modules (because different chat sessions wrote different files), outdated patterns leaking in from training data, and over-engineered abstractions that were the right call when the AI suggested them but feel heavy at month-three. The audit isn't a replacement for Cursor — it's the second pair of eyes you'd usually pay $200/hr for.
Top issues we find in Cursor apps
Generic-but-true patterns from our audit pipeline. The audit flags these on YOUR specific project with file-and-line citations.
Inconsistent error handling across files
Different Cursor sessions wrote different parts of the codebase, each with its own approach to try/catch, error states, and logging. A bug that surfaces in one module gets a friendly toast; the same bug in another silently 500s.
Fix: Adopt a single error-handling convention (e.g. always throw typed errors, always log at the boundary, never swallow). Apply with a top-to-bottom pass.
Authentication patterns mixed across the same project
We routinely see Cursor projects where some routes use NextAuth, some use a hand-rolled JWT, and some skip auth entirely. The result is real auth bypasses through the inconsistent path.
Fix: Audit every Route Handler for an auth check. Standardize on one library. Add a middleware-level gate so unprotected routes have to be explicitly listed.
Stale dependencies with known CVEs
Cursor's training data has a knowledge cutoff. Packages it suggests as 'recent' may be 6-12 months out of date by the time you install them — sometimes with public CVEs.
Fix: Run `npm audit` and `npx npm-check-updates -u` periodically. Pin major versions to known-good releases.
Over-engineered abstractions for things that should be flat
AI-suggested code often introduces interfaces, generics, and factory patterns where a 10-line function would do. The codebase becomes architecturally heavy without earning that complexity.
Fix: For each abstraction, ask: is there more than one concrete implementation, today? If not, inline it. Keep the abstraction for when reality demands it.
Missing or weak test coverage on the critical path
Tests for trivial things often exist; tests for the actual payment flow / auth flow / data-mutation flow are usually missing. The areas that hurt most to break are the least covered.
Fix: Identify the 5 highest-stakes user flows (signup, payment, password reset, primary mutation, data export). Write end-to-end tests for each, even if every other test gets deleted.
Example fix prompts you'll get
Every finding ships with a paste-ready prompt for Cursor or Claude. Here are three examples we'd typically hand back for a Cursor project.
Adopt a single error-handling pattern across the codebase: every async function should throw, every Route Handler should catch at the boundary and return a typed error response, every UI fetch should display the error message. Apply consistently to all routes in app/api/.
Run `npm audit` and `npm outdated`. For every dependency with a high or critical CVE, upgrade to the patched version. For every dependency >6 months out of date, evaluate upgrade vs. replacement.
Audit every file in app/api/. For each Route Handler that doesn't have an auth check, either add one or document in a comment why it's intentionally public.
