SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a Cursor Automation requires choosing the right trigger, tools, integrations, and prompt, and mistakes in any of these fields can block saving in the Automations editor. This Skill guides the agent through a structured drafting conversation so the automation opens in the editor complete and valid. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided drafting funnel: Walks through trigger selection (cron, git, Slack, Linear, PagerDuty, Sentry, webhook), tool enablement, prompt authoring, and naming before producing a draft. - Integration discovery: Proactively resolves repos via gh/glab, Slack channels, PagerDuty services, and Linear/Sentry projects so picker-backed fields are filled without guesswork. - MCP existence and auth gates: Verifies MCP servers are dashboard-eligible and authenticated in chat before adding them to the draft, preventing blocked saves and lost editor state. - Use Case: A user says "set up a scheduled Cursor agent that reviews new PRs every weekday at 9am and posts a summary to Slack." The Skill resolves the repo and Slack channel, drafts the automation, gets approval, and opens the Automations editor with the prefilled workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a Cursor Automation describing what should trigger it, what it should do, and the desired outcome.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Cursor Automation from chat?

Describe what kicks the automation off, what it should do, and the desired outcome. The agent drafts the trigger, tools, and prompt, shows a summary table for approval, then opens the Automations editor with the prefilled workflow.

What triggers can a Cursor Automation use?

Supported triggers include cron schedules, git pull request/push/CI events, Slack messages and reactions, Microsoft Teams events, Linear, PagerDuty, Sentry, and webhooks. Each trigger requires its scope resolved or explicitly deferred to the editor.

Can this skill edit an existing Cursor Automation?

No, the flow is creation-only and does not list, inspect, or update existing automations. To change one, edit it directly in the Automations UI or create a new replacement automation.

Why does the skill stop when an MCP server is not authenticated?

Prefilling an unauthenticated MCP blocks saving and the editor's OAuth redirect discards unsaved draft changes. The skill authenticates the server in chat first via mcp_auth, then resumes drafting.

Does the skill work outside the Cursor Agents Window?

No, it requires the cursor-app-control open_automation capability available in the Agents Window. If that tool is unavailable, the skill stops and instructs you to run it in the Agents Window.
