What it does

Setup Pstack is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Configure which models pstack uses per role and at what reasoning budget. Detects your available models and writes an always-applied rule that overrides the skill defaults. Use for /setup-pstack, "configure pstack models", "pstack budget", or changing pstack's model choices.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • Configure pstack models
  • Changing pstacks model choices

Example prompts

  • “configure pstack models”
  • “pstack budget”
  • “/setup-pstack”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect available models
  2. Load current state
  3. Budget, map, and confirm
  4. Validate
  5. Write the rule
  6. Confirm
  7. Offer a verification skill (optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f451cf. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Setup Pstack loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 673 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 673 words (~1,427 tokens).

“Write ~/.cursor/rules/pstack-models.mdc, an always-applied rule that sets pstack's model per role.”
