Cursor Worker Review

Cursor worker — review

Skeptical read-only pass via cursor-agent. Parent must not trust claims without evidence.

Prerequisite

which cursor-agent

Workflow

1. Identify review target (uncommitted diff, branch, specific files, or plan doc).
2. Write a self-contained prompt: what to inspect, what “pass” means, output format.
3. Run from repo root:

REPO="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
cursor-agent -p --trust --mode ask --output-format json \
  --workspace "$REPO" \
  --model 'cursor-grok-4.6-low[fast=false]' \
  "Review target: [describe]. Inspect git diff and relevant files. Output: Verified (with evidence), Issues (must-fix), Gaps (unverified), Verdict (ready/not ready). Do not edit files."

4. Verify important claims yourself (spot-check files, re-run checks) before presenting to the user.
5. If review finds nothing, say so clearly and state what was inspected.

--mode ask and --mode plan are both read-only (no --force); use --mode plan for investigation. Prompts are self-contained (paths, branch/SHA, scope, output sections) — simpler than Claude system framing.

When parent should use this

• After implementation, before merge or “done”
• Second opinion on plans or large diffs
• Parent orchestrates; does not replace this with inline skimming
