Use when a coding task would benefit from delegating work to Cursor in the background — fast parallel implementation, scaffolding, or an everyday review running while the session continues. Lets Claude drive the cursor companion itself (task, review, status --wait, result) without the user typing /cursor:* commands.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Cursor Delegation

This skill is the policy and the loop for delegating work to Cursor without a `/cursor:*` command. Presenting output stays governed by the `cursor-result-handling` skill; prompt shape and model notes stay governed by the `cursor-prompting` skill. Do not duplicate either — defer to them.

## When to delegate — and when not

- Delegate when parallel speed adds real value: an implementation or scaffolding job that can run while the session continues on something else, or an everyday review of a substantive diff.
- Evidence note (portfolio retro, 2026-08-07): across the first 8 ledger dispositions Cursor was never exercised as a delegate, so its routing guidance rests on less evidence than Codex's — when an increment genuinely fits the profile above, prefer delegating it here over defaulting to local work, so the ledger accumulates the comparison the routing policy needs.
- Keep trivial work local. A rename, a one-file edit, a question Claude can answer directly — spawning a background agent there is overhead, not help.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zebbern/agent-collab/cursor-delegation@sha256:d8348e0017adf8ef

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.54fc83a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
