Orchestrate

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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/plugins

✓SAFE B

Cursor plugin specification and official plugins

Poteto Mode

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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

✓SAFE B

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

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Build The Lever

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Exhaust The Design Space

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Experience First

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

Apply when product, UX, or feature-scope tradeoffs come up. Choose user delight over implementation convenience; ship fewer polished features over more rough ones.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Fix Root Causes

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Foundational Thinking

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Guard The Context Window

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Laziness Protocol

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Make Operations Idempotent

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Migrate Callers Then Delete Legacy Apis

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Minimize Reader Load

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Never Block On The Human

cursor/plugins

!CAUTION B

Apply when tempted to ask 'should I do X?' on reversible work.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Outcome Oriented Execution

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Prove It Works

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.'

★ 11k89/100

Principle Redesign From First Principles

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

Apply when integrating a new requirement into an existing design.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Separate Before Serializing Shared State

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Subtract Before You Add

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

Apply when sequencing an addition, refactor, or rewrite. Remove dead code, redundant validators, and stub references first, then build on the simpler base.

★ 11k89/100

Principle Type System Discipline

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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…

★ 11k89/100

Ralph Loop

cursor/plugins

✓SAFE B

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.
