cursor-delegate SKILL.md skillA

cursor-delegate from amelnagdy/delegate-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add amelnagdy/delegate-skills/cursor-delegate@v0.5.0

Pins v0.5.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

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…

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 Delegate

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.

## When NOT to use this

- The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
- The `cursor-agent` CLI is not installed or authenticated (run `cursor-agent login`).
- You want to write the code yourself, or you only need Cursor's opinion on code you wrote (a
  `--read-only` dispatch covers that — see below — but a plain review may not need delegation at all).

## Prerequisites (check once)

1. `cursor-agent --version` succeeds. If not, follow the installer for your platform at
   [cursor.com/cli](https://cursor.com/cli), inspect what it will run, and authenticate with
   `cursor-agent login`.
2. `cursor-agent status` shows you logged in.
3. You are in (or will point `--cd` at) the target git repository. The relay passes `--trust`, so

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amelnagdy/delegate-skills/cursor-delegate@sha256:4e311a5d026d90c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, 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.
