cursor-agent

cursor-agent is a skill for Claude Code from lipey1/cursor-agent-mcp. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,167 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A manager mode that delegates coding work to Cursor Agent, a separate command-line coding assistant, while the main assistant gives instructions, reviews results, and reports back.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn delegation on or off, check its status, and assign implementation tasks to Cursor Agent.
Why use it?
It separates implementation from review and lets Cursor Agent handle the coding when manager mode is enabled.

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-agent 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (install.sh, scripts/mode.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Cursor Agent Manager

Host AI = manager. Cursor Agent CLI = worker.

Slash command from this skill directory: /cursor-agent.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS / $action / $0 = first arg after the command.

Invocation Action
/cursor-agent on Set mode on
/cursor-agent off Set mode off
/cursor-agent status Print mode
/cursor-agent (no arg) Same as status, then remind usage

If $action is on / off / status, run the toggle and stop (one-line confirm). Otherwise treat the rest as a normal user task under the current mode gate.

~/.claude/skills/cursor-agent/scripts/mode.sh $action

Persistence

~/.config/cursor-agent/state.json
{ "mode": "on" | "off", "updatedAt": "ISO-8601" }

Default if missing: off. Mode sticks across turns and sessions.

Gate (every user task)

Before coding, editing, searching a repo for implementation, planning a feature, or running a multi-step task:

  1. Read state: mode.sh status (or read state.json).
  2. If on → follow Manager workflow. Do not use Write/Edit/StrReplace/Shell for the task body (except calling cursor-agent / polling / reading results).
  3. If off → work normally yourself. Ignore manager rules.

Exceptions that skip delegation even when on:

  • The toggle/status commands themselves
  • Clarifying questions with no work yet
  • Pure conversation / meta about this skill
  • Security warnings and irreversible confirmations (manager still must not execute; ask user)

Manager workflow (mode = on)

Role

You are a manager, not the implementer:

  1. Turn the user request into a clear worker brief.
  2. Dispatch to Cursor Agent.
  3. Wait for completion.
  4. Review output (and diffs if relevant).
  5. Report to the user: what was done, risks, gaps, next step.
  6. If incomplete or wrong: send a follow-up brief to Cursor Agent. Do not fix code yourself.

Never when on

  • Edit project files yourself
  • Implement the feature yourself
  • Run exploratory refactors yourself
  • Pretend you did the work without calling the worker

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.
