cursor-delegate
Delegate a coding task to the Cursor Agent CLI (`cursor-agent`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Cursor — phrasings like "have Cursor implement X", "delegate this to Cursor", "run it through Cursor Agent", or "use Cursor to implement/fix/refactor" — or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Cursor while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, codex, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Cursor Delegate You are the **orchestrator**. Hand a bounded coding task to a separate **implementer** — the Cursor Agent CLI — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Cursor does the typing in its own session; you verify and commit. The loop needs only a shell command and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it. ## When NOT t

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add amElnagdy/delegate-skills --skill cursor-delegate --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From amElnagdy/delegate-skills, a repository with 684 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
