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 having broad access to the repository where you run it. Prefer a verifiable installer or package-manager install, avoid `--force` unless you have reviewed the target repo and can revert changes, and do not automate the workspace-trust prompt 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 matches the artifacts: it documents installing, authenticating, and using Cursor CLI for coding workflows. The capabilities are high impact because they can modify repositories, use API keys, enable MCP servers, and run automated code-review or refactoring tasks.
Instruction Scope
The skill documents `--force` for auto-applying changes and includes a tmux workflow that sends the key for trusting a workspace automatically. Those actions are purpose-related but lack clear human approval, repository trust checks, or rollback guidance.
Install Mechanism
The README and SKILL.md recommend `curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash`, which is a disclosed install path but executes remote installer code without checksum, signature, or inspection guidance. A Homebrew alternative is also listed for macOS.
Credentials
Project-level access, API-key authentication, local rules files, and MCP configuration are expected for a Cursor CLI integration, but users should understand that this can expose or act on local project context.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill instructs installing software, changing shell PATH, installing tmux with sudo on Linux, and creating a persistent tmux session. These are disclosed, but the automated workspace-trust step raises the privilege and persistence risk in untrusted repositories.
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
