Cursor plugin · Inspected
Thermos
Runs two Cursor subagents in parallel over a branch diff — a correctness/security audit and a strict maintainability rubric — then synthesizes both into one deduplicated, prioritized review.
Three skills and two subagents arranged in one shape: the thermos skill is an orchestrator that launches both review subagents in parallel against the same gathered diff, and each subagent loads its rubric from the matching skill. You can also run either rubric on its own.
Who it’s for
A deliberately harsh, deep review of a branch before merging — past what a general-purpose review gives you. Cursor's built-in /review and /review-bugbot remain the lighter-weight option for a sanity check.

Installing it
/add-plugin thermosRead from the plugin's own README, under "Installation".
All three of its skills set disable-model-invocation: true, so the agent never reaches for them on its own — you invoke them by name.
Cursor’s documented route works for any marketplace plugin regardless: open Customize in the sidebar, find the plugin, select Install, and choose project or user scope.
What it needs
- Cursor subagents — the orchestrator invokes both review subagents through
Task, in one message, in the background. - A diff to review: the documented flow gathers
git diff main...HEADplus the full contents of the changed files before either subagent starts.
The 3 skills it ships
Each name below is the skill's own directory name, and each description is drawn from that skill's own frontmatter or the plugin's README — not rewritten from the marketplace listing.
- thermosmanual onlyThe orchestrator: launches both review subagents in parallel, then synthesizes prioritized, deduplicated findings.
- thermo-nuclear-reviewmanual onlyComprehensive security and correctness audit of a branch's changes — bugs, breaking changes, security issues, devex regressions, feature-gate leaks.
- thermo-nuclear-code-quality-reviewmanual onlyAn extremely strict maintainability review: abstraction quality, giant files, and spaghetti-condition growth.
Subagents
Cursor subagents the plugin ships. A plugin can carry these; a standalone skill cannot.
- thermo-nuclear-review-subagentDiff-scoped Task subagent for the deep-review rubric, invoked after a parent has gathered the diff and file contents.
- thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review-subagentDiff-scoped Task subagent for the code-quality rubric, loaded from the matching skill.

Sources and provenance
Everything on this page was read from primary sources published by Cursor: the plugin’s own .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest, its README, and the frontmatter of every skill, subagent it ships, plus the repository’s marketplace manifest for the quoted listing copy. Last checked on .
Cursor’s marketplace copy for this plugin reads: “Thermo-nuclear branch review: deep security/correctness audits, harsh code-quality rubrics, parallel subagents, thermos orchestration, and optional merge-ready PR flows.” — quoted, not assessed.
- The README documents a migration: cursor-team-kit previously carried only
thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review, and it asks you to remove the team-kit entries once Thermos is installed. The file is nonetheless still present in cursor-team-kit as of this check, so the duplicate is real rather than historical. - The manifest's marketplace copy mentions "optional take-the-wheel and FSD merge-ready flows." No skill, subagent, or README section in the plugin directory documents those, so nothing is claimed about them here.
Nobody here has installed or run this plugin. Version numbers and component lists are a snapshot and will drift — the source directory is authoritative. Cursor states that every marketplace plugin is manually reviewed before listing; the criteria are not published in detail and have not been audited here.
