Skill profile
Cursor's built-in review skills
/review, /review-bugbot, and /review-security ship with Cursor by default — general review, automated bug-hunting review, and a security-focused review, with nothing to install.
What it actually does
- Three bundled slash commands: `/review` (general), `/review-bugbot` (automated bug-hunting review), and `/review-security` (security-focused).
When to use it — and when not to
Use it when
- You want a code review in Cursor without installing anything — this is what's already in the box.
Not for
- You specifically need the four-subagent breadth `parallel-code-review` provides — the built-ins don't fan out across parallel specialist passes.
Agent compatibility
- Cursor
Confirmed means the skill’s own source or vendor states it works with that agent. Portable means it only reaches that agent through the shared SKILL.md format and a directory convention — real, but a weaker claim. An agent with no entry here isn’t known to be unsupported; it simply isn’t documented either way, so nothing is claimed. Full model on Agent Skills Compatibility.

Overlap and alternatives
- parallel-code-reviewCursor already ships three review skills for free — install parallel-code-review only if you specifically want its four-subagent breadth.
