Ultracode

Ultracode Through Open Dynamic Workflows for Cursor

Use this skill when the user invokes /ultracode, says ultracode, says workflow:, or asks for large coding work that benefits from explicit planning, parallel agents, verification, budgets, or crash-resumable execution.

The ODW MCP tools should already be available from .cursor/mcp.json. The bridge scripts referenced below live next to this skill in scripts/.

Step 0: Check the daemon

Run:

node scripts/daemon-bridge.js --check

• Exit 0: use the daemon path.
• Exit 1 with auth guidance: tell the user to copy ~/.odw/daemon.token into ODW_DAEMON_TOKEN or the host setting.
• Exit 1 because the daemon is offline: tell the user to run odw-daemon start or odw-daemon doctor cursor.

Daemon Path

1. Prefer MCP tools when available: call odw_health, then odw_run for direct execution or odw_plan first when the user wants to review the plan, the task is expensive, or mutation risk is high.
2. If MCP tools are unavailable but the daemon is reachable, use the local bridge:
   • node scripts/daemon-bridge.js plan "<task>"
   • node scripts/daemon-bridge.js exec plan.json
   • node scripts/daemon-bridge.js status <workflowId>
   • node scripts/daemon-bridge.js result <workflowId>
3. Report the workflow id, topology, agent count, cost/time estimate, and final synthesized result. Do not redo the same work manually while ODW is running it.

Cursor-Native Fallback

If the daemon is unavailable, state that full ultracode requires the daemon, then use Cursor Agent's native planning and editing flow: discovery -> parallel work -> adversarial verification -> synthesis.

Never include secrets in prompts, plans, logs, or workflow artifacts.
