## Install

```sh

```

Requires the [AgentStack CLI](https://agentstack.voostack.com/docs/cli). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.

## About

# Install the Understudy Cursor plugin

This skill is a compatibility shim. The consolidated setup surface is
[`install-agent-adapter`](../install-agent-adapter/SKILL.md).

## Procedure

Load `install-agent-adapter` and run it with platform `cursor`.

Use its [`reference.md`](../install-agent-adapter/reference.md#cursor) for the
current symlink install:

```bash
mkdir -p "$HOME/.cursor/plugins/local"
rm -rf "$HOME/.cursor/plugins/local/understudy"
ln -s "$REPO" "$HOME/.cursor/plugins/local/understudy"
```

Activation:

```text
Developer: Reload Window
```

Then ask Cursor Agent:

```text
Use the Understudy onboarding skill for this project.
```

## Safety Gates

Local-first and free: installing the Cursor adapter only links local skills. It
must not authenticate, upload data, inspect secret values, download model
weights, start hosted jobs, or make provider calls.

- Only overwrite the exact `~/.cursor/plugins/local/understudy` path.
- Do not edit Cursor internal settings databases.
- Do not copy private traces, keys, or `.understudy/` state into the plugin.

## Resolve CLI

No Understudy CLI command is required. Use shell to create the local symlink after
confirming the repo contains `.cursor-plugin/plugin.json`.

## Output Standard

End with: that this routed through `install-agent-adapter`; whether the Cursor
plugin was installed/refreshed/shown for manual run; the reload step; the next
onboarding prompt; and the uninstall command.
