agent-work-receipt

agent-work-receipt is a command for Cursor from emaraschio/cursor-commands. It costs 27 tokens per session (644 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A work report that records what an AI coding agent completed, how long it estimates the work took, what review was needed, and what risks remain.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a coding session to summarise the output, review effort, risks, and perceived value of the work.
Why use it?
It gives developers a consistent account of completed agent work instead of relying on memory or informal notes.

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

agent-work-receipt 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 5d 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Produce a conservative agent work receipt after completed work: finished output, time estimates, review burden, risks, and value judgment. Retrospective only; no new implementation in the same turn. Full workflow: .cursor/skill-contracts/agent-work-receipt/SKILL.md (user install: ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/agent-work-receipt/SKILL.md).

Defaults

Setting Default
Scope Full session unless user narrows in the message
Time fields Agent estimates, labeled as estimates
Evidence Conversation + read-only git (status, diff, log) when repo present
Execution Retrospective only, no new implementation in same turn
Examples Generic names only (service-a, repo1)

Steps

  1. Read .cursor/skill-contracts/agent-work-receipt/SKILL.md for the full agent contract; if that file is missing, read ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/agent-work-receipt/SKILL.md.
  2. Execute phases in order (Intake → Evidence → Inventory → Estimates → Review & risk → Value → Deliver).
  3. Report the six-section receipt in chat using the skill template.

Anti-patterns

  • Count only landed work, not drafts. Trigger: tallying finished output. Wrong: counting drafts, ideas, or abandoned attempts as completed work. Correct: list only artifacts that actually landed and stay conservative. Reason: a receipt that counts unused output overstates value and misleads the decision it informs.
  • Stay retrospective; start no new work. Trigger: writing the receipt for a finished session. Wrong: starting new implementation, commits, or destructive commands in the same turn. Correct: account for completed work only and defer new work to a separate turn. Reason: a receipt that mutates the repo it is measuring corrupts its own evidence.
  • Label time as estimates, never measured fact. Trigger: reporting human baseline and agent-assisted time. Wrong: presenting invented durations as measured elapsed time, or inflating savings to match a request. Correct: give estimates labeled as estimates and backed by evidence. Reason: fabricated time figures turn the receipt into marketing rather than accounting.

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.
