Cursor Context Packing

AgentPack prepares task-focused context packs for Cursor. It is useful when a repo is too large to paste and the agent needs a narrower map of files, tests, rules, and config before editing.

AgentPack runs local/offline repo analysis and builds compact context packs for AI coding agents, including Cursor.

Cursor setup

agentpack init --agent cursor

This writes Cursor rules plus a VS Code task for refreshing AgentPack context. Re-running the command is idempotent.

Task-focused context

agentpack route --task "fix auth token expiry"
agentpack task set "fix auth token expiry"
agentpack pack --task auto

AgentPack ranks files from task terms, symbols, imports, related tests, configs, git changes, repo history, and offline summaries. It then emits compact views such as full, diff, symbols, skeleton, or summary depending on relevance and token budget.

Read-only demo

npx @vishal2612200/agentpack route --task "fix auth token expiry"

The route command is the safest first demo because it returns context guidance without writing a context pack.

What Cursor receives

Cursor can use AgentPack-generated files and rules to start with:

  • likely implementation files
  • likely tests
  • relevant configs
  • repo instructions
  • suggested commands
  • task freshness metadata
  • warnings about stale context

This is especially useful for multi-folder projects where feature code, route handlers, tests, and config live in different areas.

What Cursor still owns

AgentPack selects a ranked starting map. Cursor and the reviewer still own code correctness, test selection, and final inspection.

AgentPack is not a coding agent. It is a context preparation layer that helps Cursor begin with a smaller, more relevant slice of the repository.
