To track Cursor plan progression, add YAML frontmatter to your .plan.md files with status (pending, in_progress, completed), completedAt, and a todos list to monitor task statuses and completion times.

Plan tracking in Cursor requires frontmatter with status (pending, in_progress, or completed), completedAt (ISO date or null), and todos containing objects with id, content, and status fields.

You structure task statuses in a .plan.md file by creating a todos array in the YAML frontmatter, where each task object contains an id, content, and a status value to reflect deliverable progress.

The best way to monitor pending and completed tasks is enforcing a structured YAML frontmatter schema in .plan.md files, ensuring visibility into plan progress across tasks and time.

No external dependencies are needed to manage plan status in Cursor; the tracking relies solely on updating the YAML frontmatter fields natively within your .plan.md project files.
