What do you want to do?

4 use cases

  • Scaffold and validate a new Cursor plugin

    Start a new agent plugin from the create-plugin template and check it is valid before sharing.

    View prompt
    In the cursor/plugins repo, use the create-plugin plugin to scaffold a new plugin named <plugin-name> as a standalone root directory. Output the file tree and the validation result. Verify that .cursor-plugin/plugin.json exists and that the validation reports no errors.

  • Split a large task across parallel cloud agents

    Use the orchestrate plugin to run planners, workers, and verifiers on one big job at once.

    View prompt
    Using the orchestrate plugin from the cursor/plugins repo, split the task <task-description> into parallel sub-tasks with a planner, workers, and a verifier. Output the plan, the worker assignments, and the verified handoffs. Verify that every sub-task has a verifier result before you report it as done.

  • Review a pull request diff grouped by importance

    Render a PR diff as a review canvas so the most important changes are read first.

    View prompt
    Using the pr-review-canvas plugin from the cursor/plugins repo, render the diff for pull request <pr-number> as a review canvas grouped by importance. Output the groups in order with a one-line reason for each. Verify that every changed file appears in exactly one group.

  • Plan the port of a GitHub App to the Origin API

    Use origin-apps to map an existing GitHub App onto the Origin API before writing code.

    View prompt
    Using the origin-apps plugin from the cursor/plugins repo, fetch the live Origin API spec and plan the port of the GitHub App at <app-repo-path>. Output a port plan that maps credentials, scopes, webhooks, paging, and errors. Verify that the plan cites the live spec and lists any unmapped items.

How to use Plugins

  1. Check you have what it needs: Access to the cursor/plugins repository on GitHub; Cursor set up to use plugins; Basic familiarity with the .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest each plugin needs.
  2. Open cursor/plugins on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Open the create-plugin/ directory from the Plugins table in the README.
  4. Read the README there to see how the scaffold is meant to be used.
  5. Create your plugin as a standalone directory at the repository root, following the same layout as the other Plugins.
  6. Make sure the directory contains .cursor-plugin/plugin.json with a name and description.

These steps come from our top use case, Scaffold and validate a new Cursor plugin, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
