# Cursor CLI skill

Use this skill for coding tasks with Cursor editor.

## Commands

### 1. Open file in Cursor
```bash
cursor --goto file.py:line
```

### 2. Use Cursor Agent (AI coding assistant)
```bash
cursor-agent -p "your question" --mode=ask --output-format text
```

### 3. Open diff between files
```bash
cursor --diff file1.py file2.py
```

## Examples

**Open file at specific line:**
```
cursor --goto conftest.py:180
```

**Ask Cursor AI:**
```
cursor-agent -p "Explain what recursion is" --mode=ask --output-format text
```

**Review code:**
```
cursor-agent -p "Review this code for bugs" --output-format text
```

## Notes

- Run from the project directory when possible
- Cursor agent may take 30-120 seconds for complex tasks
- Works best with Cursor Pro for full AI capabilities
