Cursor agent CLI
A cross-shell alias agent is provided for cursor-agent:
- POSIX interactive shells:
home/readonly_dot_shellrc→~/.shellrc - fish:
home/dot_config/fish/readonly_config.fish.tmpl→~/.config/fish/config.fish
command -v agent
agent --help
Cursor CLI is the primary interactive assistant harness. Its user-level hooks (session context, worklog) make up the hook-memory layer — documented in Agent memory.
Tmux agent prompt wrap
When running an AI coding agent (claude, cursor-agent, pi, or copilot) in the foreground of a tmux pane, Alt-Enter is intercepted to prepend a compact verification discipline and leave the prompt editable.
- Binding:
Alt-Enter(inserts the wrapped prompt) - Toggle:
prefix+W(toggles wrapping on/off for the session) - Prefix text:
home/dot_config/exact_tmux/agent_prompts/prefix.txt
Plain Enter is never touched. Press it when the wrapped prompt is ready to send. Alt-Enter is passed through untouched in non-agent panes or when the toggle is OFF. Background or stopped agents do not activate wrapping.
prefix.txt is a compiler-verified excerpt of the SOP (compile_ai_policy.py verify rejects any sentence that is not verbatim SOP text). It is also injected automatically, but never at session start, where the full SOP is fresh:
| Consumer | Injection path |
|---|---|
claude, codex, cursor-agent, copilot | per-prompt hook perturn_recall.py re-injects after 200k tokens of context growth (Claude transcript / Codex rollout usage) or a compaction |
cursor-agent, copilot without usage data | same hook, prompt-interval fallback (AGENT_REINFORCE_PROMPTS, default 10) |
pi, omp | ai-kb-recall.ts re-injects after 20 points of context fill growth or a compaction |
| custom subagents | render the sibling leaf-boundary.txt (SOP §3.7 leaf-worker boundary) as the first body/developer-instructions block |
Tuning: AGENT_REINFORCE=off disables re-injection; AGENT_REINFORCE_DELTA_TOKENS changes the growth threshold. State lives in <session-key>.reinforce.json next to the topic spec.
Alt-Enter remains the manual way to prepend the prefix to a specific prompt as a direct user message.
