cli-cursor

cli-cursor is a skill for Claude Code from MichelKerkmeester/skilled-agent-harness_spec-driven-loops. It costs 27 tokens per session (9,419 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A command-line controller for Cursor's coding agent, with options for coding work, read-only planning, Git worktrees, and cloud workers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for delegating implementations, getting a second code-review perspective, exploring a repository safely, and running Cursor-based coding tasks.
Why use it?
It lets another AI agent handle or independently review coding tasks while keeping the current agent in control. Git worktrees help isolate changes from the main working folder.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is printf '%s' "$JSON_PAYLOAD" | node .skilled/skills/system-spec-kit/runtime/cli/dist/continuity/generate-context.js --stdin [spec-folder].

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 C, and why

cli-cursor scanned grade C with 3 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 8d 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.

Cursor CLI Orchestrator - Cross-AI Task Delegation

CRITICAL — SELF-INVOCATION PROHIBITED

This skill dispatches to the Cursor CLI binary (cursor-agent). If the agent currently reading this skill is itself running inside cursor-agent (detection signals listed in §2), the skill MUST refuse to load and return the documented error message instead of generating any cursor-agent invocation.

A running CLI skill never dispatches itself. The cli-X skills are for cross-AI delegation only — never self-invocation.

Orchestrate Cursor's terminal coding agent (cursor-agent) for tasks that benefit from a second AI perspective, Cursor's native model (Composer), read-only plan/ask exploration, or its unique worktree/cloud-worker/plugin surfaces.

Core Principle: Use Cursor for what it does best. Delegate, validate, integrate. The calling AI stays the conductor.

1. WHEN TO USE

Activation Triggers

  • Cross-AI Validation — code review second perspective, bug detection, an independent implementation attempt.
  • Composer Dispatch — tasks that specifically want Cursor's own native model (composer-2.5/composer-2.5-fast), or the Grok (4.5/4.6/4.7) / GLM 5.2 tiers already on the enforced allowlist (see §3 Model Selection).
  • Read-Only Exploration — --mode plan (read-only planning) or --mode ask (read-only Q&A) when a task wants Cursor's analysis without any file writes.
  • Isolated Experimentation — Cursor's native git worktree isolation (-w/--worktree) for a change the operator wants tried in a disposable checkout, documented in references/cursor-tools.md as an opt-in escape hatch, not this packet's default dispatch shape.
  • Specialized Generation — explicit Cursor requests naming Grok (4.5, 4.6 or 4.7) or GLM 5.2 specifically (the only non-Composer models on the enforced allowlist).

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.
