orchestrate
Fans a large task out across parallel Cursor cloud agents via the Cursor SDK — planners publish tasks, workers hand off, a script reconciles the tree from disk and git.
What it actually does
- Fans a large task out across parallel Cursor cloud agents: planners publish tasks, workers hand results back up, and a script reconciles the whole tree from disk and git so the spawn/wait/handoff loop keeps converging without long-running agent state.
When to use it — and when not to
Use it when
- A task is genuinely large enough to split across multiple parallel cloud agents with planner/worker/verifier roles.
Not for
- A single-repo task a normal agent session handles fine — this carries real operational weight (API keys, optional Slack app) for jobs that don't need it.
The caveat that matters
This is infrastructure for fanning work across many cloud agents at once — real setup cost for a job most single-repo tasks don't have.
Agent compatibility
- Cursor
Built on the Cursor TypeScript SDK and Cursor cloud agents — not a portable skill.
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.
Requirements and operational surface
Depends on
bunon PATH- A Cursor API key (
CURSOR_API_KEY) - Optional: a Slack app and bot token, for run visibility in a Slack thread
What it actually does at runtime
- Spawns and coordinates parallel Cursor cloud agents
- Executes local shell scripts via
bun - Network access to the Cursor API and, optionally, Slack's API
Workflow fit
Task planning → parallel cloud-agent execution → handoff reconciliation → review.

Cursor plugins that relate to this
A plugin is a bundle rather than a skill — it can carry several skills, plus subagents, rules, and hooks. See Cursor plugins for the distinction.
- pstackA Cursor plugin built around one sticky mode that matches a request to a named playbook and applies a stated engineering principle at each step.
