Monitor a pull request for CI failures, review comments, and merge conflicts — then fix them automatically. Use when a PR is open and you want the agent to keep it merge-ready.

Solve a hard problem by trying multiple approaches in parallel using isolated git worktrees. Each attempt runs in its own branch, and the best solution is selected. Use for complex refactors, tricky bugs, or architectural decisions where multiple strategies could work.

When the same multi-step workflow repeats in Cursor (user corrections or agent redos), capture it as a new SKILL.md under .cursor/skills/ so future sessions load it automatically.

Launch multiple explore subagents in parallel to investigate architecture, data models, auth, APIs, and deployment. Synthesize into an onboarding document.

Check out two branches in separate worktrees, start both dev servers on different ports, screenshot the same pages, and produce a visual diff.

Export code, terminal output, diagrams, or UI components to PNG images using headless browser rendering or CLI tools.

Scan running terminals for dev server URLs (localhost ports), report them, and optionally open the app in Cursor's built-in browser.

Crawl all links in a file or project, test each for a valid HTTP response, report broken ones, and fix or remove them.

Use Cursor's browser to fill and submit every form in the app with valid and invalid data, verifying validation, error states, and success flows.

Generate or edit images using the OpenAI Image API (gpt-image-2). Use when the user asks to generate, create, draw, render, illustrate, mock up, or edit an image, icon, logo, mockup, illustration, OG image, blog hero, marketing asset, or similar visual. Also use when the user supplies a reference image and asks to modify, restyle, or remix it. Triggers on: "generate an image", "create an image", "make a picture of", "edit this image", "restyle this", "make a mockup of", "draw a", "render a", "illustration of".

Keep iterating on code changes until the tests pass, the build succeeds, or linting is clean. Runs in a tight loop of fix → run → check → repeat. Use when you want the agent to autonomously grind through test failures or build errors.

Handle production incidents — triage, mitigate, communicate, and write postmortems.

Watch running terminal processes for crashes and stack traces. When an error appears, navigate to the failing file and line, diagnose, and fix it automatically.

After navigating and interacting in Cursor's built-in browser, use browser_network_requests to audit every fetch/XHR for failures, slowness, duplicate calls, and suspicious payloads. Use for API-heavy pages and after backend or client networking changes.

When GitHub Actions fails, fetch failing job logs and assign each failing job to a separate subagent that fixes its slice of the problem in parallel. Use for multi-job CI failures where jobs are independent.

Run four parallel read-only subagents that each review the same diff from a different lens — security, performance, correctness, and readability — then merge findings into one report. Use before merging large or risky PRs.

Explore a large codebase in parallel by launching multiple explore subagents that each investigate a different area simultaneously. Use when onboarding onto a new project, understanding architecture, or investigating a cross-cutting concern.

When multiple tests fail, assign each failing test file to a separate subagent that fixes it independently in parallel.

Profile a running web application's CPU performance using Cursor's built-in browser profiler. Captures call stacks, identifies slow functions, and suggests optimizations. Use when a page feels slow or janky.

Write effective prompts for LLMs — structure, few-shot examples, chain-of-thought, system prompts, and output parsing.

Test-driven development in Python using uv as the package manager. Covers the red-green-refactor cycle, vertical slicing, and uv project setup.

Build mobile apps with React Native and Expo — navigation, platform-specific code, performance, and native modules.

Execute a user flow step-by-step in Cursor's built-in browser while documenting each action, then emit a Playwright test that replays the same flow using stable selectors derived from the accessibility tree.

Open the app in Cursor's browser at multiple viewport sizes, screenshot each, and report any layout breakage.

Perform a thorough code review focused on correctness, maintainability, performance, and best practices.

Automatically persist useful context — research, decisions, learnings, templates — to workspace files so knowledge survives across conversations.

Generate a visual changelog or PR description by taking before/after screenshots of UI changes using Cursor's built-in browser. Use when preparing a PR with visual changes.

When the user keeps asking for the same check to run (lint, tests, type-check), suggest a Cursor hook to automate it.

When the user repeats the same correction or convention multiple times, suggest a Cursor rule to encode it permanently.

When the user struggles with a task that a known skill could handle, suggest installing it.

Switch the current Cursor workspace to a different project directory using the cursor-app-control MCP. Use when the user asks to switch projects, open another repo, jump to a different codebase, or move to a worktree.

Structured debugging methodology — reproduce, isolate, hypothesize, verify. Covers git bisect, binary search, logging, and minimal reproduction.

Monitor a build process (webpack, turbo, docker) for warnings and errors as they stream. Summarize issues and fix them before the build finishes.

Safely update an npm package by checking npmjs.com for the latest version, reading release notes, and handling minor vs major upgrades differently. For minor updates, just do it. For major updates, find the upgrade guide, validate breaking changes, and produce a detailed migration report.

Enforce a configuration-driven design system when generating UI. Ensures consistent spacing, colors, typography, dark mode, interactions, and accessibility across all AI-generated components.

After making code changes, start the dev server, open the app in Cursor's built-in browser, and verify everything works — check rendering, console errors, and network health. Use proactively after any UI or API change.

Verify that a Markdown file has correct formatting — headings, lists, links, code blocks, spacing, and consistent style.
