call-cursor-agent is a Claude Code skill that delegates coding subtasks to the cursor-agent CLI and merges the returned work back into the same agent workflow.

About

call-cursor-agent is a cross-agent integration skill for developers running Claude Code who want Cursor to execute a bounded task and return results into the same session. The skill checks for cursor-agent with which, then invokes cursor-agent --model with a task heredoc, defaulting to composer-1 when no model is specified. It fits parallelizing implementation, exploratory edits, or offloading a slice while Claude Code retains orchestration. Use call-cursor-agent when cursor-agent is installed and a subtask is concrete enough to hand off via CLI.

  • Cross-agent delegation
  • Cursor agent invocation
  • Workflow handoff patterns

How do you delegate tasks from Claude Code to Cursor?

Delegate coding subtasks from Claude Code to a Cursor agent and merge results back into the same workflow.

Who is it for?

Developers using Claude Code with cursor-agent installed who want Cursor to execute scoped coding tasks via CLI delegation.

Skip if: Environments without cursor-agent installed or workflows that require a single agent with no cross-tool handoff.

When should I use this skill?

Claude Code should hand a concrete coding subtask to cursor-agent and integrate the CLI response.

What you get

cursor-agent CLI output, completed subtask edits, and merged results in the Claude Code workflow.

  • cursor-agent task output
  • merged code changes

By the numbers

  • Defaults to composer-1 when cursor-agent model is unspecified
