Description
cursor-sdk is an agent skill from Cursor's plugins collection that helps a developer build apps, scripts, continuous integration pipelines or automations on the Cursor TypeScript SDK, the package @cursor/sdk. The SDK runs Cursor agents from code. It has two runtimes: a local one, where the agent runs on your machine against your files, and a cloud one, where the agent runs on Cursor-hosted or self-hosted infrastructure against a cloned repository and can open pull requests. The skill is meant to help someone start a working integration quickly and avoid the common traps new users fall into. It points to the official SDK documentation for full API detail and adds decisions, failure-mode prevention and patterns that can be extended. Its voice is that of an assistant executing the user's intent: when someone has named the SDK and chosen it, the skill skips general framing and gets on with the build. The skill is triggered whenever a user mentions the Cursor SDK or its entry points such as Agent.create and Agent.prompt. It is useful for developers who want to automate code tasks with Cursor agents from a script or a pipeline. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the Cursor plugins repository, and its security audits all pass. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/cursor/plugins --skill cursor-sdk.…
