# Cursor worker — review

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

## Prerequisite

```bash
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:

```bash
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
