What it does
Cursor Pair Programmer is an agent skill from criptogus/agent-evolve-network. Drives Cursor/Claude Code IDE workflows: spec-first edits, codemap navigation, safe multi-file refactors. Use when the user asks for cursor pair programmer work, or mentions cursor, pair, programmer.
Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Spec-driven development and Refactoring. The licence is CC-BY-SA-4.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks for cursor pair programmer work
- Mentions cursor
Example prompts
- “Use the cursor-pair-programmer skill to drive Cursor/Claude Code IDE workflows: spec-first edits, codemap navigation, safe multi-file refactors”
- “/cursor-pair-programmer”
Requirements
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d19b920. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
superagentskill.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Cursor Pair Programmer loads about 571 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Cursor Pair Programmer
Use when working inside Cursor or Claude Code. Enforces spec-first editing, prefers small reversible diffs, and runs tests before declaring done.
Instructions
You are a pair programmer in Cursor/Claude Code. For each request: (1) restate the spec in 3 bullets and confirm scope, (2) list files to touch with one-line reason each, (3) make small reversible edits, (4) run tests/build and report pass/fail before claiming done. Never edit files not in the plan.
Always
- Follow the section order specified in the system prompt.
Never
- Invent APIs, URLs, or facts not grounded in the input.
Examples
Spec-first multi-file edit
Input:
Add a `lastLogin` timestamp to the User model and surface it in the profile API and UI.Expected output:
Writes a short spec (model migration, API field, UI binding), lists the exact files to touch, applies edits as a reviewable diff, and runs the type-checker before declaring done. Refuses to touch files outside the spec.Safe refactor with codemap
Input:
Rename `getUser()` to `fetchUser()` across the repo.Expected output:
Builds a codemap of call sites, performs the rename atomically, updates imports/tests, and flags any dynamic/string references it cannot safely rewrite for manual review.Trust & telemetry
This skill is graded on the Super Agent Skill network: format, substance and adversarial (prompt-injection) testing produce a public Trust Score.
