Details

• Install: curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash (see Cursor CLI docs for npm and platform packages).
• Auth: Cursor subscription / team plan; CLI shares model access with the Cursor product.
• Models: Composer, Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, and other frontier models exposed in the CLI picker.
• Automation: headless mode and GitHub Actions integrations for doc updates, reviews, and custom agents.
• Skills: .cursor/skills/ and rules; cross-reference Agent Skills - Sources for portable SKILL.md repos.
• Fit: Tool / AI Agent, Cursor’s agent runtime in the terminal (Cursor is the editor under IDE).
• Contrast: vendor-specific CLIs when not on Cursor; OpenCode for multi-provider open source.
