# Cursor CLI Agent Skill

This skill provides a comprehensive guide and set of workflows for utilizing the Cursor CLI tool, including all features from the January 2026 update.

## Installation

### Standard Installation (macOS, Linux, Windows WSL)

```bash
curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash
```

### Homebrew (macOS only)

```bash
brew install --cask cursor-cli
```

### Post-Installation Setup

**macOS:**
- Add to PATH in `~/.zshrc` (zsh) or `~/.bashrc` (bash):
  ```bash
  export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
  ```
- Restart terminal or run `source ~/.zshrc` (or `~/.bashrc`)
- Requires macOS 10.15 or later
- Works on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs

**Linux/Ubuntu:**
- Restart your terminal or source your shell config
- Verify with `agent --version`

**Both platforms:**
- Commands: `agent` (primary) and `cursor-agent` (backward compatible)
- Verify installation: `agent --version` or `cursor-agent --version`

## Authentication

Authenticate via browser:

```bash
agent login
```

Or use API key:

```bash
export CURSOR_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

## Update

Keep your CLI up to date:

```bash
agent update
# or
agent upgrade
```

## Commands

### Interactive Mode

Start an interactive session with the agent:

```bash
agent
```

Start with an initial prompt:

```bash
agent "Add error handling to this API"
```

**Backward compatibility:** `cursor-agent` still works but `agent` is now the primary command.

### Model Switching

List all available models:

```bash
agent models
# or
agent --list-models
```

Use a specific model:

```bash
agent --model gpt-5
```

Switch models during a session:

```
/models
```

### Session Management

Manage your agent sessions:

- **List sessions:** `agent ls`
- **Resume most recent:** `agent resume`
- **Resume specific session:** `agent --resume="[chat-id]"`

### Context Selection

Include specific files or folders in the conversation:

```
@filename.ts
@src/components/
```
