composer-prompting

composer-prompting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from freema/cursor-plugin-cc. It costs 31 tokens per session (575 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for turning a well-defined coding task into a precise prompt for Cursor Composer, an AI coding tool that receives no earlier conversation context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before delegating work to inspect project instructions and write a prompt covering the goal, allowed changes, language, and verification steps.
Why use it?
It helps ensure the delegated agent receives the repository rules, exact files, expected result, and checks needed to complete the task correctly.

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

composer-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 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 — 37 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Composer Prompting

Use this skill when the cursor-runner subagent (or the main Claude thread) needs to turn a well-specified coding task into a prompt for the Cursor CLI (cursor-agent, Composer by default).

Cursor has no conversation context — whatever the target repo expects, you must bake into the prompt you send. Prompt Composer like a fast executor with a precise contract, not a collaborator you can clarify with mid-run. State the goal, the exact end state, the files it may touch, and how "done" is verified.

Ground the prompt in the target repo first

Before writing the prompt, use Read (only) to check the target repo for:

  • AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/**, .github/copilot-instructions.md, CONTRIBUTING.md — convention files.
  • package.json / Taskfile.yml / Makefile / justfile — to learn which commands build and test the project.
  • README.md — for the overall project goal (one sentence is enough).

Language and style follow the target repo, not this plugin. If the repo's commits, comments, or UI strings are in Czech / German / any other language, Composer must match — do not force English. If the repo is mixed (code in English, user copy in Czech), say so explicitly. When in doubt, tell Cursor: "match the existing style of surrounding files."

References — read the one you need

Assembly checklist

  1. Ground the prompt in the target repo's conventions and verify commands.
  2. Write the five sections plus the guardrails block, in order (see prompt-anatomy).
  3. Chunk anything bigger than one reviewable slice (see model-selection).
  4. Pick the smallest model that fits; default to composer-2.5-fast.
  5. Decide resume vs fresh.
  6. Remove redundant instructions before sending.

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.

composer-prompting is a skill published in the GitHub repository freema/cursor-plugin-cc (34 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 575 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
