title: "Composer 2.5 Replication Framework: Methodology and Integration Architecture for Open Replication of Cursor's Agentic Coding Recipe"
abstract: >
  An open-source methodology and integration architecture for replicating
  Cursor's Composer 2.5 recipe on a HuggingFace base model, plus a novel
  multi-teacher trace-replay distillation reward channel that complements
  the published SDPO/OPSD method (which Cursor's "Targeted RL with Textual
  Feedback" uses). Pre-experimental v0.0 release: methodology paper, audited
  recipe mapping, integration architecture across TRL/VeRL/OpenEnv,
  empirical economic-feasibility result for the novel channel ($0.98/trace),
  and a working code skeleton with 38 passing unit tests.
