Usage

node .claude/skills/omega-cursor-cli/scripts/ask-cursor.mjs "How should I structure this React component?" --yolo --trust

node .claude/skills/omega-cursor-cli/scripts/ask-cursor.mjs "Review this API design" --model claude-4.6-opus --yolo --trust

node .claude/skills/omega-cursor-cli/scripts/ask-cursor.mjs "Refactor authentication" --yolo --trust --timeout-ms 180000

node .claude/skills/omega-cursor-cli/scripts/ask-cursor.mjs "Generate types" --json --yolo --trust

Availability Check

node .claude/skills/omega-cursor-cli/scripts/verify-setup.mjs
# Exit 0 = available (CLI found)
# Exit 1 = not available

ALWAYS use --yolo --trust for headless mode (otherwise blocks on approval prompts)
NEVER assume CLI is available -- most restrictive subscription requirement
ALWAYS include --timeout-ms for production usage
NEVER attempt to detect subscription status programmatically (not possible)
ALWAYS handle WSL issues on Windows (some configurations require WSL)

Anti-Pattern	Why Bad	Correct Approach
Running without --yolo	Blocks on tool approval prompts	Always pass --yolo
Running without --trust	Blocks on workspace trust prompt	Always pass --trust
Assuming auto model is available	Depends on subscription tier	Check with cursor-agent --list-models
Hardcoding cursor-agent path	PATH differs across OS/install methods	Wrapper handles resolution
Ignoring WSL requirements	Some Windows installs are WSL-only	Document in setup instructions

Script	Purpose
`ask-cursor.mjs`	Core headless wrapper -- prompt as last positional arg
`parse-args.mjs`	Argument parser (--model, --json, --yolo, --trust, --timeout-ms)
`verify-setup.mjs`	Availability check (multi-path resolution)
`format-output.mjs`	Output normalization

Code	Meaning
0	Success
1	Error (CLI failure, subscription issue)
124	Timeout (--timeout-ms exceeded)

Subscription: Cursor Pro or Business required for agent/headless mode
Stdin limit: ASK_CURSOR_MAX_STDIN_BYTES env var (default 50MB)
Available models: claude-4.6-opus, claude-4.6-sonnet, composer-1.5, gemini-3.1-pro, gpt-5.3-codex, auto
Platform: Partial cross-platform (WSL issues on some Windows configurations)
PATH resolution order: agent -> cursor-agent -> %LOCALAPPDATA%\cursor-agent\cursor-agent.cmd -> npx @cursor/agent
