Six-module audit of Cursor instruction surfaces. Invoke with /surfaceReview (not auto-applied). For module checklists and severity rules, read references/modules.md when executing.
Use Read, Grep, Glob; run cursorEval check / tokens on SKILL.md when tools/cursorEval/ exists.
.mdc rulesreview subagent/surfaceReviewlifecycleAudit or cursorLifecycleLabel each module in output as Module 1 … Module 6 (names below).
