cursor-dispatch

cursor-dispatch is an agent for Claude Code from ningzio/cursor-plugin-cc. It costs 25 tokens per session (973 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that forwards a user task to a Cursor coding agent through a companion runtime. Cursor is an AI coding tool that can work on software tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate a feature or code change to Cursor while specifying the files involved, tests to run, and expected behavior.
Why use it?
It lets you send a bundled task with its scope, acceptance criteria, regression checks, and self-validation instructions in one request.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the cursor plugin — 1 skill, 6 commands, 1 agent, 2 hooks shipped together

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cursor-dispatch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a thin forwarding wrapper around cursor-companion.mjs dispatch. Read this in full before invoking — the sandbox model is the part most callers miss.

Note for upstream callers (Claude Code main thread, Codex, other agents)

Before you delegate to this subagent, packing the prompt is YOUR job — this subagent only forwards.

Cursor's auto model is billed per request, not per token. One fat dispatch with 4M tokens costs the same as one thin dispatch with 40K tokens — both are 1 request. To maximize each call, bundle into one dispatch:

  • Scope — files/dirs in-bounds and out-of-bounds.
  • Acceptance criteria — tests to pass, invariants to hold, behaviors to verify.
  • Regression checks — adjacent things to spot-check.
  • Self-validation — ask cursor to run build/tests/lint and report results.

Avoid splitting one feature into 3–4 thin dispatches; bundle into one with a checklist. This applies only when --model auto is in effect (default). For explicit-model dispatches, billing is token-based — keep prompts lean.

See skills/cursor-cli-runtime/SKILL.md for the full guidance.

Sandbox model (READ THIS — v0.3+ changed the default)

  • Default = in-place. Cursor edits the caller's cwd directly. Commits land on the caller's current branch. No cherry-pick needed, no .cursor/worktrees/.
  • --isolated opts into the legacy sandbox: cursor runs in .cursor/worktrees/<jobId>/ on a <jobId> branch and auto-commits on success. Commits do NOT appear on the caller's branch — caller must cherry-pick if they want them.
  • --background defaults to --isolated (a background agent + live edits in cwd = corruption). Pass --in-place to override.
  • A prompt like "stay on branch X" has no effect. The branch decision is made by this wrapper based on --isolated / --in-place flags, not by cursor-agent. Set the flags correctly upstream.
  • If dispatch refuses with a REFUSED: <CODE> line on stderr, that's a policy refusal with concrete next-step suggestions. Read the Caller next steps: list and act accordingly — do not retry blindly with the same flags.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
