Orchestrate
cursor/plugins
Use only when the user explicitly types `/orchestrate <goal>` to decompose a large task, spawn a tree of parallel cloud-agent workers/subplanners/verifiers via the Cursor SDK, and collect structured handoffs; do not…
Playbooks

Cursor plugin specification and official plugins
Poteto Mode
cursor/plugins
poteto's agent style for concise, detailed responses, deliberate subagents, unslopped prose, simple code, and verified work. Use for poteto, /poteto-mode, or requests to work in this style.
Pr Review Canvas
cursor/plugins
Generate an interactive PR review walkthrough as an HTML page. Fetches PR data via gh API, categorizes files into core vs mechanical changes, adds reviewer annotations, and renders diffs with moved-code detection. Use…
Principle Boundary Discipline
cursor/plugins
Apply when wiring validation, error handling, or framework adapters. Concentrate guards at system boundaries (CLI, config, network, external APIs); trust internal types and keep business logic in pure functions.
Principle Build The Lever
cursor/plugins
Apply to any non-trivial work, not just bulk work: edits, migrations, analyses, checks. Build the tool that does it or proves it (codemod, script, generator, or a skill your subagents follow) instead of working by hand.…
Principle Encode Lessons In Structure
cursor/plugins
Apply when you catch yourself writing the same instruction a second time, or notice a recurring correction. Encode the rule as a lint, metadata flag, runtime check, or script instead of more text.
Principle Exhaust The Design Space
cursor/plugins
Apply when facing a novel UI interaction or architectural decision with no precedent in the codebase. Build 2-3 competing prototypes and compare side by side before committing.
Principle Experience First
cursor/plugins
Apply when product, UX, or feature-scope tradeoffs come up. Choose user delight over implementation convenience; ship fewer polished features over more rough ones.
Principle Fix Root Causes
cursor/plugins
Apply when debugging. Trace each symptom to its root cause and fix it there; reproduce first, ask why until you reach it, resist nil-check guards that silence crashes.
Principle Foundational Thinking
cursor/plugins
Apply before writing logic: choosing core types and data structures, sequencing scaffold-vs-feature work, asking what concurrent actors share. Get the data structures right so downstream code becomes obvious.
Principle Guard The Context Window
cursor/plugins
Apply when context is filling up: large outputs, long files, repeated reads, fan-out planning. Route bulk to subagents; keep summaries in the main thread, not raw payloads.
Principle Laziness Protocol
cursor/plugins
Apply when refactoring, evaluating diff size, or tempted to add abstractions, layers, or signal threading. Bias toward deletion and the smallest change that solves the problem.
Principle Make Operations Idempotent
cursor/plugins
Apply when designing commands, lifecycle steps, or processing loops that run amid crashes, restarts, and retries. Converge to the same end state regardless of partial prior runs.
Principle Migrate Callers Then Delete Legacy Apis
cursor/plugins
Apply when introducing a new internal API while old callers still exist. Migrate callers and delete the old API in the same wave instead of preserving compatibility layers.
Principle Minimize Reader Load
cursor/plugins
Apply when reviewing or shaping code that's hard to trace. Count layers between question and answer, and hidden state in the reader's head; collapse one-caller wrappers and shrink mutable scope.
Principle Never Block On The Human
cursor/plugins
Apply when tempted to ask 'should I do X?' on reversible work.
Principle Outcome Oriented Execution
cursor/plugins
Apply during planned rewrites and migrations with explicit phase boundaries. Converge on the target architecture; don't preserve smooth intermediate states with throwaway compatibility code.
Principle Prove It Works
cursor/plugins
Apply after completing a task, before declaring done. Verify against the real artifact (run the feature, read the actual value, inspect the diff), not a proxy, self-report, or 'it compiles.'
Principle Redesign From First Principles
cursor/plugins
Apply when integrating a new requirement into an existing design.
Principle Separate Before Serializing Shared State
cursor/plugins
Apply when concurrent actors might write to the same file, branch, key, or state object. Eliminate the sharing first; serialize structurally only when one shared writer is a real invariant.
Principle Subtract Before You Add
cursor/plugins
Apply when sequencing an addition, refactor, or rewrite. Remove dead code, redundant validators, and stub references first, then build on the simpler base.
Principle Type System Discipline
cursor/plugins
Apply when designing types, reviewing a function signature, or writing code in any statically-typed language. Make illegal states unrepresentable, brand semantic primitives, parse external data at boundaries, refuse to…
Ralph Loop
cursor/plugins
Start a Ralph Loop for iterative self-referential development. Use when the user asks to run a ralph loop, start an iterative loop, or wants repeated autonomous iteration on a task until completion.
