cursor-spec-interviewer

cursor-spec-interviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stark-ai-de/agent-skills. It costs 99 tokens per session (2,930 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided interview that turns a rough Cursor Agent coding request into a written implementation specification. Cursor Agent is an AI coding assistant, and the specification records scope, assumptions, acceptance criteria, validation, and architectural decisions when needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning features, bug fixes, refactors, migrations, and architecture changes before asking Cursor Agent to implement them.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity before coding starts and helps keep multi-file or repo-wide work within an agreed scope.

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-spec-interviewer 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 10d 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.

Cursor Spec Interviewer

Goal

Produce a user-verified implementation spec that Cursor Agent can execute with minimal ambiguity, minimal scope creep, explicit validation, explicit assumptions, a bounded source challenge, and ADRs for durable architectural decisions when needed. Save every final spec using the repo's clear convention or a confirmed destination; save ADR files only when the ADR gate requires one.

This is one end-to-end outcome, not a public multi-workflow skill. Do not invent review/save variants or add a workflow-selection checkpoint.

When to use

  • The user has a rough idea but not a production-ready implementation spec.
  • The task spans multiple files or concerns, or requires tradeoff decisions.
  • The request needs acceptance criteria, validation commands, rollout notes, or risk handling.
  • The user wants a reusable written artifact before implementation begins.
  • Requirements, feature shape, ADR assumptions, or the implementation approach should be challenged against repo reality and current external sources before coding.

When not to use

  • The user already provided a complete implementation spec with files, constraints, tests, and acceptance criteria.
  • The task is a tiny one-file edit without meaningful ambiguity.
  • The user wants brainstorming only and no concrete implementation artifact.
  • The user only wants a Cursor rule, command, or other prompt-scope file authored, not an implementation spec.
  • The task is primarily a policy, legal, or business-decision document.
  • The user asks to audit or clean up Codex memory state; use a Codex memory skill instead.

Inputs to inspect

  • The current user request and any follow-up answers.
  • Relevant AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules/**/*.mdc, README.md, issue descriptions, ADRs, repo docs, and docs/agents/ files.
  • Existing specs, plans, requirements, and PRDs the user wants preserved or challenged.
  • File layout, naming conventions, scripts, package manager, lint/test/type-check commands, and CI expectations.
  • Current framework, library, API, or platform documentation through available MCP tools or web search when a decision depends on up-to-date behavior.
  • Error messages, screenshots, logs, PR feedback, or example files the user supplied.
  • Cursor project skill folders such as .agents/skills/ or .cursor/skills/ only when the spec depends on local Cursor skill behavior.

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.

cursor-spec-interviewer is a skill published in the GitHub repository stark-ai-de/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 2,930 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
