Cursor Sdk

Helps you write code against the Cursor TypeScript SDK without falling into the handful of traps that bite everyone the first time. The skill assumes you've already decided to use `@cursor/sdk` and gets straight to working patterns for one-shot prompts, streaming multi-turn agents, and resumable sessions across process boundaries. It knows when to reach for local runtime versus cloud, how to wire up MCP servers correctly, and why your cloud agent silently became a local one when you forgot the `repos` field. The references cover auth debugging, error handling, and specific integration shapes like CI review bots. Treat this as executable guidance, not documentation you have to translate.

Cursor SDK

The Cursor TypeScript SDK (@cursor/sdk) runs Cursor agents programmatically. The same interfaces drives the local runtime (agent runs on your machine against your files) and the cloud runtime (agent runs on Cursor-hosted or self-hosted infrastructure against a cloned repo and opens PRs).

Use this skill to help someone bootstrap a working integration quickly and avoid the handful of traps that bite new users. Canonical docs live at https://cursor.com/docs/api/sdk/typescript; this skill only adds decision-making, failure-mode prevention, and ready-to-extend patterns.

Voice and Posture

This skill helps the user build with the SDK. It is not the place to validate, congratulate, or sell the SDK as a choice. The user's intent is the input; your job is execution.
