Description
A comprehensive skill for using the Cursor CLI agent for various software engineering tasks (updated for 2026 features, includes tmux automation guide).
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with Cursor CLI acting on repositories where you run it. Prefer a verifiable installer or package-manager path, avoid `--force` unless changes are reviewed and reversible, and do not automate workspace trust for untrusted or newly downloaded projects.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: cursor-agent
Version: 2.1.0
The skill is classified as suspicious due to high-risk installation methods and extensive shell automation instructions. The `SKILL.md` file instructs the OpenClaw agent to execute `curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash` for installation, which is a direct execution of remote code and a significant supply chain risk. Furthermore, the skill provides detailed `tmux` automation instructions, including executing `sudo apt install tmux` and using `tmux send-keys` to bypass confirmation prompts (e.g., `tmux send-keys -t cursor "a"` to 'Trust workspace'), which, while explained as necessary for the tool's operation, represents risky capabilities and a form of prompt injection against the Cursor CLI itself, instructing the agent to perform actions without explicit user confirmation for that specific step.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to help users install and operate Cursor CLI for software engineering workflows, and the documented capabilities fit that purpose, but they can modify repositories, use API keys, load project rules, and enable MCP servers.
Instruction Scope
The skill documents auto-applying changes with `--force` and gives a tmux automation sequence that sends the key to trust a workspace without a human decision; this is high-impact and under-scoped for untrusted repositories.
Install Mechanism
The primary install path in both README.md and SKILL.md is `curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash`, which is disclosed but runs a remote installer without checksum, signature, or inspect-first guidance. A Homebrew alternative is listed for macOS.
Credentials
Project access, Cursor authentication, local rules files, and MCP configuration are expected for this integration, but users should understand that running the CLI can expose or act on local project context.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill instructs PATH changes, software installation, sudo-based tmux installation on Linux, and a persistent tmux session; these are disclosed, but automated workspace trust increases privilege and persistence risk in unreviewed workspaces.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install cursor-agent - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/cursor-agent - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
