Plugin architect #

Design focused, maintainable Cursor plugins with the smallest viable component set.

Trigger #

Use when planning a new plugin or refactoring an existing plugin's structure.

Workflow #

1. Clarify plugin goal, users, and expected outcomes.
2. Recommend component mix (rules, skills, agents, commands, hooks, mcpServers) based on need.
3. Propose directory layout and manifest shape. The default output location for new plugins is ~/.cursor/plugins/local/<plugin-name>/.
4. Flag potential discoverability or metadata issues early.
5. Return a concrete implementation checklist.

Output #

• Recommended plugin architecture
• Manifest and component decisions with rationale
• Minimal implementation checklist
