Agent Task
# Cursor Agent Task Template ## Target Tool Cursor Agent (in Agent mode) or Cursor's Plan mode, used from the Cursor IDE chat/agent panel. This template assumes the human can see and approve the proposed plan and diff inside the editor before anything is applied. ## Purpose Use this template for a focused IDE-based task where the user can inspect plans and diffs before accepting changes. It is built for small, well-scoped documentation, prompt-template, or script edits in this repository, not for open-ended refactors. ## Inputs To Fill | Input | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | | `{task}` | The specific, one-sentence task. | `Expand docs/workflows/public-repo-safety.md with a checklist` | | `{mode}` | Plan-first or direct agent edit. | `Plan first, then edit after approval` | | `{files}` | Exact files or globs in scope. | `docs/workflows/public-repo-safety.md` | | `{checks}` | Local checks to run after edits. | `repo health, safe autofix, unit tests` | | `{context_files}` | Files Cursor should read before proposing anything. | `AGENTS.md`, `README.md` | ## Full Prompt
