cursor/plugins

What it does

This is Cursor's official plugin specification and plugin collection, defining how agent plugins are structured as standalone directories with a .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest. It also ships a set of official plugins for popular developer tools, frameworks, and SaaS products, covering code review, task orchestration, and learning memory.

What's inside

Each plugin lives in its own directory at the repo root with a .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest, and the README tabulates name, author, category, and description. It already includes a dozen-plus plugins such as teaching, continual-learning, cursor-team-kit, thermos, create-plugin, ralph-loop, orchestrate, pstack, advisor, and grok-voice.

Tech stack

The primary language is TypeScript, and plugins are distributed as manifest files plus directory structures, with some relying on the Cursor SDK and CLI capabilities. Overall it is a plugin-based extension scheme around the Cursor agent ecosystem.

Use cases

• Heavy Cursor users: extend agent code review, orchestration, and learning via official plugins
• Plugin developers: scaffold and publish their own agent plugins following the official spec
• Team engineering leads: interested in internal workflow plugins for CI, code review, and local automation
• AI tooling researchers: want to understand how agent plugin specs and ecosystems are organized
