cursor-agent-supervisor

cursor-agent-supervisor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YPares/agent-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (810 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for handing well-defined coding tasks to separate AI agents, called sub-agents, and receiving their completed work. They cover choosing a model, starting a conversation, and setting a longer timeout for lengthy tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating and resuming sub-agent conversations, assigning implementation tasks, choosing a default model when needed, and allowing enough time for completion.
Why use it?
They help split contained work from a broader project so another agent can implement a clearly scoped change without needing the entire project context.

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-supervisor 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 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.

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

Agent Supervisor

You can start subagents (e.g. to work on a specific JJ revision) with:

# Create a conversation with a sub-agent:
cursor-agent --print --model <model-name> create-chat  # Prints a conversation uuid

# Give a task to the sub-agent: (command will finish when sub-agent is done)
cursor-agent --print --resume <conversation-uuid> "...description of the subagent's task..."

Model Selection

cursor-agent --print --model unknown-model will print an error that will list available models. Unless you know which model is best for the task, just use sonnet-4.5 by default.

Invocation

Important: Sub-agent tasks can take several minutes. Always use a longer timeout:

# In your Shell tool call, set timeout to 10 minutes
timeout: 600000

The --print flag makes the sub-agent run on its own, and reply only once it is done.

Setting Things up for the Sub-agent

Prepare things up so the agent can focus on its task (eg. if using JJ, don't ask them to run jj commands unless really necessary. Notably run jj edit yourself first to get into the revision where the work should be done). Ideally, the sub-agent should only have to read your instructions, hack on code, run build/tests, hack on code, etc. until your instructions are implemented, and then reply with a final answer. YOU are in charge of bookkeeping, not them. YOU have the big picture, they don't.

Giving Good Instructions

Give the subagent the instructions they will need to complete the task, but do not overwhelm them.

Do:

  • Provide a clear, specific goal
  • List key files to read/modify
  • Specify what "done" looks like
  • Include relevant patterns to follow or reference implementations
  • Tell them which skills to load if needed

Don't:

  • Dump or link to entire skills when they only need a subset
  • Include irrelevant context
  • Leave success criteria ambiguous

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.
