Delegate a coding task to the Cursor Agent CLI (`cursor-agent`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Cursor — phrasings like "have Cursor implement X", "delegate this to Cursor", "run it through Cursor Agent", or "use Cursor to implement/fix/refactor" — or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Cursor while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user

This benchmark measured an earlier version of the skill.
A newer attempt on gemini-3.8-flash on 10/20/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.
One of 11 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
When invoking `relay.mjs` with invalid command-line flags or missing mandatory arguments before running `cursor-agent`, what exit code does the node script produce?

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
You are the orchestrator. Hand a bounded coding task to a separate implementer — the Cursor Agent CLI — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Cursor does the typing in its own session; you verify and commit.
The loop needs only a shell command and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it.
cursor-agent CLI is not installed or authenticated (run cursor-agent login).--read-only dispatch covers that — see below — but a plain review may not need delegation at all).cursor-agent --version succeeds. If not, follow the installer for your platform at
cursor.com/cli, inspect what it will run, and authenticate with
cursor-agent login.cursor-agent status shows you logged in.--cd at) the target git repository. The relay passes --trust, so
point it only at repositories you trust.Omitting --model uses your Cursor default (usually auto — Cursor picks). To pin one, pass
--model <name> with a name from the account's live cursor-agent models output — select from that
list rather than inventing a name. Parameterized forms like <name>[context=1m,effort=high] are
forwarded as-is. The model that actually served the run is recorded as resolvedModel in
result.json.
Run these five steps per task. Steps 1, 4, and 5 require judgment; 2 and 3 are mechanical.
Cursor sees only the text you send plus what it can inspect in the workspace — no chat history or shared context. Include the goal, current state, what to change, what to leave untouched, the
