automate

automate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from XyrusCode/ai-sync. It costs 12 tokens per session (8,125 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of automate, MIT.

Guidance for creating Cursor Automations, which are scheduled or otherwise configured tasks run by Cursor's agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly setting up a new Cursor Automation, opening its editor, or drafting a scheduled Cursor agent.
Why use it?
It prevents confusing Cursor Automations with other kinds of automation, such as scripts, CI pipelines, or browser workflows, and follows the required editor handoff.

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

automate 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 1mo 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 — 378 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Automation (Interactive)

Use this skill when the user explicitly wants to make, build, set up, or create a new Cursor Automation — for example "create a Cursor automation", "open the Automations editor with this draft", or "set up a scheduled Cursor agent".

Disambiguation. "Automation" in a user workspace can mean many things (.github/workflows, CI pipelines, scheduled jobs, scripts, dbt, browser automation, shell scripts, workflow engines). Do not assume generic phrases like "automate this", "help me automate my deploys", or "make an automation" mean Cursor Automation. Route to the named surface when the user mentions one, use normal repo/product exploration when the context points elsewhere, or ask a short clarifying question when the target surface is ambiguous. Start this spine only when the user explicitly asks for Cursor Automations or confirms that Cursor Automations is the intended surface.

Execution spine (every run)

  1. Finish-path check. First, check whether the in-app Automations editor handoff is available (see Finish availability below). If neither the Automations editor tool nor the resource opener is available, immediately say "Please use this skill in the Agents Window." and stop.
  2. Capture intent + proactive integration discovery. After the finish-path check passes, if the prompt is missing 2+ of {what kicks it off, what should happen, what outcome}, send one short plain-chat message asking for a 1–2 sentence description and wait. Skip when the prompt already names trigger + action + outcome. Proactively run discovery for any integration the user named or implied — gh repo view on cwd; Slack MCP channels; PagerDuty MCP services; Linear/Sentry MCP teams/projects. Use the results to skip questions later.
  3. Completeness gates. Work through the trigger, tool, prompt, naming, and PCD checks below. Do not jump to a summary while required picker-backed fields are still unknown unless the user explicitly deferred them to the Automations editor.
  4. One consolidated question. Ask inline for whatever integration discovery couldn't resolve — trigger details, repo / channel / service when ambiguous, tools when not obvious. Default to plain-chat inline. Only escalate to AskQuestion for (a) the tools multi-select and (b) integration discovery candidate lists with 3+ matches.
  5. Draft table → approval → finish handoff. Show a compact Markdown table (plain language, no YAML) recapping name / description, trigger, tools, instructions, resolved settings, and "to finish in editor". User approves, then ask whether they are ready for you to open the Automations editor so they can finish any deferred values there. When they say yes, use the finish path from the availability check.

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.
