Run the Macro app on Cursor Cloud and pick up edits. An agent skill from macro-inc/macro.

  • Asked to run the app

  • Calls bash, just and docker; needs DOPPLER_TOKEN
  • Open it in the browser

What it does

Run App is an agent skill from macro-inc/macro. Run the Macro app on Cursor Cloud and pick up edits. Use when asked to run the app, open it in the browser, test a frontend or backend change, hot reload, or before touching stack.sh, rebuild.sh, frontend.sh, or just stack.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 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 Frontend & Design. It works with Docker and Bash. The repository describes itself as: Macro is a unified workspace for teams: email, chat, docs, tasks, agents, calls, and CRM — @-linked together with shared AI memory. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to run the app
  • Open it in the browser
  • Test a frontend
  • Before touching stack.sh

Example prompts

  • “/run-app”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • A credential in DOPPLER_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 49418e7. 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:

    • bash
    • just
    • docker
    • nix
    • cargo
    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DOPPLER_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Run App loads about 712 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 352 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~712

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.

run-app
description
Run the Macro app on Cursor Cloud and pick up edits. Use when asked to run the app, open it in the browser, test a frontend or backend change, hot reload, or before touching stack.sh, rebuild.sh, frontend.sh, or just stack.

Run the app

The app is http://localhost:3000/app. Open it in the VM browser. The user's laptop cannot reach these URLs.

GoalCommand
Startbash .cursor/stack.sh
After a Rust editbash .cursor/rebuild.sh
After an apps/web editsave the file

The .cursor scripts re-enter the pinned nix shell. For any other docker, just, bun, or doppler command, prefix with nix develop /workspace --command.

Do not run just run_local. That is the laptop TUI.

Start

bash
bash .cursor/stack.sh

Let the first run finish. It compiles whatever changed since the environment bake. Do not kill the Nix build, copy binaries out of /nix/store, or replace this with hand-rolled docker compose.

Log in with any email. The login API returns the code. Codes also land in Mailpit at http://localhost:8025.

After a Rust edit

bash
bash .cursor/rebuild.sh

Volumes stay. If the log says binaries are unchanged, the mounts were left alone.

Do not run just stack up or stack.sh --fresh to pick up an edit. up deletes the stack and recreates it. Use --fresh only when you mean to wipe.

cargo build and just build do not remount containers. rebuild.sh is the remount path.

After an apps/web edit

Save the file. Vite watches apps/web. If the page does not update, read ~/.cursor-cloud/frontend-dev.log for hmr update.

If http://localhost:3000/app stops responding, restart the dev server:

bash
bash .cursor/frontend.sh stop && bash .cursor/frontend.sh

Use the same restart after a frontend dependency or Vite config change.

Do not run just stack update --frontend. That builds a static bundle. This Cloud stack does not serve one. On a --no-frontend stack that flag then tells you to re-run just stack up, which wipes volumes.

Show the change

Bring the stack up, log in, and demonstrate the change in the UI. Unit tests and SQL probes are not a walkthrough.

If login fails

If the page says "unable to lookup identity providers", FusionAuth is in maintenance mode. docker ps shows macro-fusionauth-1 as unhealthy. curl localhost:9011/api/status returns 302.

bash
docker restart macro-fusionauth-1

Wait until the container is healthy.

If the page loads and API calls fail, the backend is down. Run just stack status --json, then bash .cursor/stack.sh.

Do not chase agent_harness_service restart loops when DOPPLER_TOKEN is absent. That loop is expected.

Status

bash
just stack status --json
docker compose -p macro logs -f <service>
