cursor-prompting

cursor-prompting is a skill for Claude Code from felipeinf/cursor-for-claude. It costs 13 tokens per session (183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for shaping tasks that Claude Code delegates to Cursor, including what context and acceptance criteria to include.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing Cursor prompts, choosing plan mode, requesting a written plan, or passing session context.
Why use it?
It helps delegated tasks contain clear facts and boundaries when the codebase or requested work is unfamiliar.

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-prompting 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Cursor Prompting

  • Name explicit files, commands, errors, and acceptance criteria when the user provided them.
  • Prefer --mode plan for unfamiliar codebases or fuzzy tasks.
  • Ask Cursor for a written plan before edits when scope is unclear.
  • Keep delegated prompts under roughly 2k tokens.
  • Do not add Claude-side conclusions or file inspection results you did not gather.
  • When /cursor:agent was invoked with --context, the natural-language prompt already includes a fixed five-line session block (Goal, Recent decisions, Files touched, Current state, Open question). Facts only; no transcripts, secrets, or code. If nothing concrete exists to summarize, that block is omitted by the slash command—do not invent one in the subagent.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
