- ▌ Add Cursor Ambassador · cursorAdds Cursor Directory ambassador badges by name or email via Supabase. Resolves the person and sets users.is_ambassador. Use when the user asks to add, grant, or promote an ambassador, ambassador badge, or Cursor Ambassador.
- ▌ Dag Task Runner · cursorDecompose a user's task into a DAG of subtasks and execute them with Cursor SDK local subagents in topological order, rendering live streaming status to a canvas. Each task has a complexity (HIGH/MED/LOW) that maps to a model. Use when the user asks to fan out work, decompose a task into a DAG, run subagents in parallel, or break a large task into a dependency graph.
- ▌ Tdd · cursorUse only when the user explicitly asks for TDD, a failing test, or a regression test, OR when the bug has an obvious cheap local test target. Skip when the test path is unclear, expensive, integration-heavy, or not requested.
- ▌ Why · cursor bundleUse for 'why does X work this way', 'why we picked Y', design rationale, regressions, postmortems, or data-backed thresholds. Discovers available MCPs and queries each evidence category (source control, issue tracker, long-form docs, real-time chat, infrastructure observability, error tracking, product analytics warehouse) in parallel, then returns a cited read on decisions and tradeoffs. Use how for runtime behavior.
- ▌ Arena · cursorSpawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for /arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.
- ▌ Swarm · cursorFan out N parallel workers, drain them, and return one report. Use for /swarm, 'swarm this', or parallel coverage, races, gauntlets, and exploration.
- ▌ Teach · cursorExplain a body of work plainly so a person actually understands it. Runs the `how` and `why` skills and weaves what they find into one clear explanation. Use for 'teach me this', 'help me really understand X', 'explain this change or subsystem to me'.
- ▌ Recall · cursorReconstruct your recent working context from your own chat history, live state, and the shared record (user reports, prior fixes, incidents), then hand back a tight current-state brief. Use for 'recall my work on X', 'catch me up', 'what have I been working on', 'where did I leave off', before starting or resuming work.
- ▌
- ▌ Reflect · cursor bundleSpawn three parallel review subagents over the active transcript, surface learnings, and route each to a concrete edit on an existing skill. Use when the user says reflect.
- ▌ Advisor · cursor bundleAdvisor mode. Consult a stronger (or different) model at key checkpoints: before major decisions, when stuck on an error, and before declaring a task done. Use when the user types /advisor, asks to turn the advisor on or off, picks an advisor model, or explicitly asks for a second opinion from a stronger or different model. Never enable it on your own.
- ▌ Architect · cursor bundleSketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for /architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.
- ▌ Automate Me · cursorUse for "automate me", "create/update/refresh my -mode skill", "turn/capture my preferences or working style into a skill", or wanting agents to follow how the user works. Drafts or revises a personal -mode skill via create-skill + unslop, optionally pulling fresh evidence from recent transcripts.
- ▌ Interrogate · cursor bundleUse for "interrogate", "adversarial review", "multi-model review", "challenge this", "stress test this code", "find blind spots", or "tear this apart". Multiple LLM reviewers challenge changes from independent angles.
- ▌ Make Bot UI · cursorUse when building a custom UI (page, dashboard, buttons) that should wake a Grok Bot over a webhook, when the user must provide a webhook sender key, or when exposing that UI on Tailscale.
- ▌ No Comments · cursorSpawn Comment Sicko, fix accepted findings, and offer encodings for claimed constraints.
- ▌ Poteto Mode · cursor bundlepoteto's agent style for concise, detailed responses, deliberate subagents, unslopped prose, simple code, and verified work. Use for poteto, /poteto-mode, or requests to work in this style.
- ▌ Blast Radius · cursorFind what a change could break somewhere else before it ships, beyond the diff, and prove the one fact it's safe because of by running real code instead of writing it up. Use for 'blast radius of X', 'what could this break', or reviewing a small diff you don't trust.
- ▌ Setup Pstack · cursorConfigure which models pstack uses per role. Detects your available models and writes an always-applied rule that overrides the skill defaults. Use for /setup-pstack, "configure pstack models", or changing pstack's model choices.
- ▌ Add Voice · cursorUse when the user runs /add-voice, types Voice Mode, or asks to add Grok realtime voice to an app, including replacing an STT-LLM-TTS cascade or OpenAI Realtime. Wire speech-to-speech, safe auth, and app mic. Composer: waveform button, mic icon reserved for dictation. For mic-to-text only use /add-dictation; to speak text replies use /add-read-aloud. To add debug logging and fix from logs use /debug-voice.
- ▌ Figure It Out · cursorDesign an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions via show-me-your-work. Use for /figure-it-out, 'figure it out', a large migration, or when no narrower playbook applies.
- ▌ Cursor Sdk · cursor bundleGuide users building apps, scripts, CI pipelines, or automations on top of the Cursor TypeScript SDK (`@cursor/sdk`). Use this skill whenever the user mentions integrating, installing, or writing code against the Cursor SDK; whenever they say `Agent.create`, `Agent.prompt`, `Agent.resume`, `agent.send`, `run.stream`, `CursorAgentError`, or `@cursor/sdk`; whenever they ask to run Cursor agents programmatically from a script, CI/CD pipeline, GitHub Action, backend service, or any other code that isn't the Cursor IDE itself; and whenever they want to pick between local and cloud runtime, configure MCP servers for an SDK agent, or handle streaming, cancellation, or errors from an SDK agent. Also trigger when a user is wiring Cursor into an automation, writing a bot that runs Cursor, or porting REST `/v1/agents` calls to the SDK, even if they don't explicitly name the package. Use this eagerly rather than answering from memory; the SDK surface evolves and this skill plus its references are the source of truth for
- ▌ Ralph Loop · cursorStart a Ralph Loop for iterative self-referential development. Use when the user asks to run a ralph loop, start an iterative loop, or wants repeated autonomous iteration on a task until completion.
- ▌ Debug Voice · cursorUse when the user runs /debug-voice, says voice mode has flaws, asks to see or capture what happened in a Grok realtime voice session, or a voice integration has no debug logging yet. Proposes a plan, then installs a dev-only log pipeline (client logger → local NDJSON) in the app's own language and conventions, then runs the fix loop: match the user's report to log signatures, fix one thing, re-test.
- ▌ Docs Canvas · cursorRender a documentation-style Cursor Canvas that organizes architecture notes, API references, walkthroughs, and how-tos into a navigable layout with sections, tables of contents, and cross-references. Use when the user asks for a docs canvas, documentation overview, architecture walkthrough, API reference page, or wants to render structured documentation as an interactive canvas.
- ▌ Orchestrate · cursor bundleUse only when the user explicitly types `/orchestrate <goal>` to decompose a large task, spawn a tree of parallel cloud-agent workers/subplanners/verifiers via the Cursor SDK, and collect structured handoffs; do not invoke autonomously.
- ▌ Add Dictation · cursorUse when the user runs /add-dictation or wants speech turned into text with Grok speech-to-text: a mic button that dictates into the composer, live captions, or transcribing recorded audio (files, uploads, URLs) with word timestamps, diarization, subtitles, meeting notes. STT, transcribe, transcription. For a voice agent that talks back use /add-voice.
- ▌ Show Me Your Work · cursor bundleKeep a reviewable decision trail for long-running or unattended work: a TSV log with one row per decision (what, why, evidence, result). Local by default; commit it when a reviewer needs the trail to trust the result. Use for /show-me-your-work, autonomous or multi-phase runs, or work a human reviews after stepping away.
- ▌ Technical Writing · cursorLayered technical-writing standard: Diátaxis structure, Google developer style sentences, STE instruction rules, Global English syntax. Use for /technical-writing or when writing or reviewing docs, RFCs, readmes, PR descriptions, or commit messages.
- ▌ Add Read Aloud · cursorUse when the user runs /add-read-aloud or wants the app to speak text with Grok text-to-speech: read-aloud button on assistant replies, auto-speak, TTS, voice output, narration, IVR prompts, speech tags, voice_id. For a two-way voice agent use /add-voice. For speech-to-text use /add-dictation.
- ▌ Control UI · cursorBuild or adapt a local browser/CDP harness to drive and inspect a web, IDE, or Electron UI. Use for local UI verification, screenshots, accessibility snapshots, perf profiles, visual diffs, or reproducing UI bugs.
- ▌ Loop On CI · cursorMonitor PR checks and fix failures until green. Uses gh pr checks as the source of truth for PR-attached checks.
- ▌ Ralph Loop Help · cursorExplain the Ralph Loop plugin, how it works, and available skills. Use when the user asks for help with ralph loop, wants to understand the technique, or needs usage examples.
- ▌ Control CLI · cursorBuild or adapt a local harness to drive, inspect, and profile an interactive CLI or TUI without external services. Use for CLI UX checks, startup regressions, memory leaks, hangs, prompt flows, or terminal demos.
- ▌ Verify This · cursorVerify a claim with fresh local evidence: restate it falsifiably, capture baseline and treatment, compare artifacts, and return VERIFIED, NOT VERIFIED, or INCONCLUSIVE.
- ▌ CLI For Agents · cursorDesigns or reviews CLIs so coding agents can run them reliably: non-interactive flags, layered --help with examples, stdin/pipelines, fast actionable errors, idempotency, dry-run, and predictable structure. Use when building a CLI, adding commands, writing --help, or when the user mentions agents, terminals, or automation-friendly CLIs.
- ▌ Weekly Review · cursorProduce a weekly synthesis of authored commits with highlights by bugfix, tech debt, and net-new work
- ▌ Create Learning Path · cursorBuild a personalized learning roadmap with milestones and practice checkpoints
- ▌ X MCP Guide · cursor bundleALWAYS read this when a user connects the X plugin or any X MCP, before using any X connection, and again on any X error. Do not call an X tool until this file has been read in the current turn. On first connect, confirm X tools are available, fetch get_usage_credits BEFORE any user-facing text, then send the congrats + capabilities message. Never tell the user to buy credits until that check returns ~$0 or a job would exceed the balance. If X is connected but tools are missing (tools=0, user-X-* not found), that is a setup failure — not a paywall. Estimate the cost of every X call before making it and confirm with the user before anything expensive.
- ▌ Review And Ship · cursorReview the current branch for bugs, intent fit, and test coverage; run or write tests; commit focused work; open or update a PR.
- ▌
- ▌ Principle Prove It Works · cursorApply after completing a task, before declaring done. Verify against the real artifact (run the feature, read the actual value, inspect the diff), not a proxy, self-report, or 'it compiles.'
- ▌ Pr Review Canvas · cursor bundleGenerate an interactive PR review walkthrough as an HTML page. Fetches PR data via gh API, categorizes files into core vs mechanical changes, adds reviewer annotations, and renders diffs with moved-code detection. Use when the user pastes a GitHub PR URL and asks for a review, walkthrough, or summary, or says "review this PR".
- ▌ Principle Build The Lever · cursorApply to any non-trivial work, not just bulk work: edits, migrations, analyses, checks. Build the tool that does it or proves it (codemod, script, generator, or a skill your subagents follow) instead of working by hand. The tool is the artifact a reviewer can rerun.
- ▌ Principle Fix Root Causes · cursorApply when debugging. Trace each symptom to its root cause and fix it there; reproduce first, ask why until you reach it, resist nil-check guards that silence crashes.
- ▌ Principle Experience First · cursorApply when product, UX, or feature-scope tradeoffs come up. Choose user delight over implementation convenience; ship fewer polished features over more rough ones.
- ▌ Principle Model The Domain · cursorApply when writing stateful logic, or when code branches a lot or repeats a shape assumption across files. Encode the domain in a structure instead of scattered conditionals.
- ▌ Principle Laziness Protocol · cursorApply when refactoring, evaluating diff size, or tempted to add abstractions, layers, or signal threading. Bias toward deletion and the smallest change that solves the problem.
- ▌ Workflow From Chats · cursorExtract durable working preferences from recent Cursor chats and convert them into skills, rules, or workflow docs. Use when asked to learn preferences, mine feedback, personalize workflows, or generate team/person-specific agent guidance.
- ▌ Principle Attack The Premise · cursorApply when two or more fixes that share one premise have failed the same gate. Take a census of which actors hold the imbalance before the next fix, then question the premise instead of writing another fix that assumes it.
- ▌ Principle Boundary Discipline · cursorApply when wiring validation, error handling, or framework adapters. Concentrate guards at system boundaries (CLI, config, network, external APIs); trust internal types and keep business logic in pure functions.
- ▌ Principle Minimize Reader Load · cursorApply when reviewing or shaping code that's hard to trace. Count layers between question and answer, and hidden state in the reader's head; collapse one-caller wrappers and shrink mutable scope.
- ▌ Review Plugin Submission · cursorAudit a Cursor plugin for marketplace readiness. Use when validating manifests, component metadata, discovery paths, and submission quality before publishing.
- ▌ Principle Type System Discipline · cursorApply when designing types, reviewing a function signature, or writing code in any statically-typed language. Make illegal states unrepresentable, brand semantic primitives, parse external data at boundaries, refuse to lie to the compiler, exhaust variants, derive from authoritative schemas.
- ▌ Principle Subtract Before You Add · cursorApply when sequencing an addition, refactor, or rewrite. Remove dead code, redundant validators, and stub references first, then build on the simpler base.
- ▌ Principle Guard The Context Window · cursorApply when context is filling up: large outputs, long files, repeated reads, fan-out planning. Route bulk to subagents; keep summaries in the main thread, not raw payloads.
- ▌ Principle Never Block On The Human · cursorApply when tempted to ask 'should I do X?' on reversible work. Proceed, present the result, let the human course-correct after the fact; reserve confirmation for irreversible actions.
- ▌ Principle Sequence Verifiable Units · cursorApply to multi-step work (sweeps, migrations, runs of similar edits) and to how you stack commits and PRs. Break work into small units that each end in a verifiable state, check each before the next, and order delivery so the sequence proves itself to a reviewer.
- ▌ Principle Encode Lessons In Structure · cursorApply when you catch yourself writing the same instruction a second time, or notice a recurring correction. Encode the rule as a lint, metadata flag, runtime check, or script instead of more text.
- ▌ Principle Test Behavior Not Implementation · cursorApply when you write, change, or keep a test. Call the code the way its users do and assert the result they observe against a literal expected value. If the test would still pass when every imported function returns undefined, rewrite the assertion or delete the test.
- ▌ Principle Migrate Callers Then Delete Legacy Apis · cursorApply when introducing a new internal API while old callers still exist. Migrate callers and delete the old API in the same wave instead of preserving compatibility layers.
- ▌ Principle Separate Before Serializing Shared State · cursorApply when concurrent actors might write to the same file, branch, key, or state object. Eliminate the sharing first; serialize structurally only when one shared writer is a real invariant.
- ▌ How · cursor bundleUse for "how does X work", code walkthroughs before changing something, and placement / ownership / layering questions ("where should this live", "which package owns this", "is this the right layer"). Explains subsystem architecture, runtime flow, onboarding mental models. Use why for motivation.
