# Cursor CLI ## Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `agent` | Start interactive Cursor session | | `agent "prompt"` | Interactive session with initial prompt | | `agent -p "prompt"` | Non-interactive print mode | | `agent ls` | List previous chats | | `agent resume` | Resume latest chat | | `agent --continue` | Continue previous session | | `agent --resume "chat-id"` | Resume a specific chat | ## Key Flags | Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | `--mode plan` / `--plan` | Plan mode (clarify before coding) | | `--mode ask` | Ask mode (read-only exploration) | | `--model <model>` | Model override | | `--sandbox <enabled|disabled>` | Toggle sandbox behavior | | `--output-format text` | Output format for print mode workflows | ## Mode Notes - **Interactive mode** (`agent`, `agent "prompt"`) is the right fit for `interactive_shell` overlays. - **Print mode** (`agent -p`) is non-interactive and better suited to direct shell/batch usage. ## In interactive_shell Use structured spawn when you want the extension's shared spawn resolver/defaults/worktree support: ```typescript interactive_shell({ spawn: { agent: "cursor" }, mode: "interactive" }) interactive_shell({ spawn: { agent: "cursor", prompt: "Review the diffs" }, mode: "dispatch" }) interactive_shell({ spawn: { agent: "cursor", worktree: true }, mode: "hands-free" }) ``` Structured spawn launches Cursor via the configured `spawn.commands.cursor` executable (default: `agent`) and appends prompt text as Cursor's native interactive startup form (`agent "prompt"`). By default, spawn args include `--model composer-2-fast`, which selects Cursor's Composer 2 Fast model explicitly. Cursor remains **fresh/worktree only** in structured spawn. `fork` is Pi-only. For non-interactive print-mode tasks, prefer direct shell usage: ```typescript bash({ command: 'agent -p "review these changes for security issues" --output-format text' }) ```
