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.

# 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 to use this
- The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
- The `cursor-agent` CLI is not installed or authenticated (run `cursor-agent login`).
- You want to write the code yourself, or you only need Cursor's opinion on code you wrote (a
`--read-only` dispatch covers that — see below — but a plain review may not need delegation at all).
