daemon-backend-cursor SKILL.md skillA
daemon-backend-cursor from lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/daemon-backend-cursor@v0.3.0Pins v0.3.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Nested daemon-cli-backends reference for the Cursor daemon backend's flag surface. Read this only when a daemon task needs Cursor-specific CLI flags (model selection, output/tooling switches): it routes you to the installed CLI's live help via shell and shows how to translate that help into the generic `backend_options` mechanism. It is not a flag catalog.
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 Daemon Backend — Flag Discovery Entrypoint
The installed CLI's own help is the authority for Cursor Agent flags; this page
is only the entrypoint. Conversion rules live in the parent
[`reference/cli-backends/SKILL.md`](../../../SKILL.md).
## Discover flags from the installed CLI
1. Run `agent --version` and `agent --help` in bash. The daemon spawns root
`agent` directly (the root binary is `agent`; older docs said
`cursor-agent`) — `agent -p --force --output-format stream-json <prompt>` —
so root help is authoritative (keychain errors happen before help on some builds).
2. Translate what you found into `backend_options` with the parent's generic
conversion rules (nothing Cursor-specific is added).
## Example: model selection via the generic route
`backend_options` keys become long flags, inserted after the harness-owned
flags and before the task prompt:
```jsonc
{
"backend": "cursor",
"tasks": [{
"task": "Implement and validate the change.",
"tools": [],
"backend_options": {
"model": "opus"
}
}]
}
// argv: --model opus
```
The flag and model vocabulary belong to the installed CLI — LingTai does

How to install
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/daemon-backend-cursor@sha256:fce53cb141f9571eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.3.0, 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.
