feat(cursor): add an opt-in Cursor plugin beside the Claude plugin by broomva · Pull Request #147 · broomva/bstack

broomva · 2026-10-25T00:33:24Z

Summary

bstack can now be installed in Cursor as a local plugin, next to the existing Claude Code plugin. Version 0.51.2 (patch: additive install path, Claude hooks and the CLI default behavior stay as they are).

.cursor-plugin/plugin.json names the plugin bstack and points skills and rules at cursor-plugin/. Skills are portable Agent Skills (broomva-workspace, kg, bookkeeping, dogfood, cross-review, autonomous, setup-bstack). Host-specific link syntax is gone. Mac checkout notes (BROOMVA_ROOT, git --no-optional-locks) stay. broomva-workspace keeps its name so it stays the workspace startup route, distinct from setup-bstack.
"hooks" points at cursor-plugin/hooks.json ({ "hooks": {} }). That replaces Cursor's discovery of hooks/hooks.json, which remains the Claude Code map (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}). Those hooks are not reformatted.
cursor-plugin/rules/bstack-hard-gates.mdc ships with alwaysApply: false. /setup-bstack writes ~/.cursor/rules/bstack.mdc with alwaysApply: true (no force-push to main or master, no git reset --hard, human-only merges stay human). It does not set model budgets.
Install matrix for Cursor, Claude Code, and the skills CLI (Codex included) is in docs/cursor-plugin.md and the README. Marketplace publish is out of scope. Companion skills with scripts stay npx skills add broomva/skills --skill <name>.
.claude-plugin/plugin.json and marketplace.json move to 0.51.2 with VERSION. bstack release tag now requires the Cursor manifest to match VERSION as well (BRO-3200).

Test plan

bash tests/cursor-plugin.test.sh (manifest shape, empty Cursor hooks file, Claude hooks/hooks.json still has SessionStart / ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}, frontmatter clean, portable wording, relative links)
bash tests/upgrade-trap-cleanup.test.sh (Claude and Cursor manifests match VERSION)
python3 scripts/validate-skill-frontmatter.py cursor-plugin/skills (0 errors, 0 warnings)
shellcheck --severity=warning --exclude=SC1091,SC2155,SC2034 bin/bstack
bash scripts/doctor.sh --quiet (exits 0; the gaps are the usual missing companion-skill installs in a bare checkout)

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added an opt-in Cursor plugin with portable skills and hard-gate reminders.
- Added setup instructions for installing the plugin and enabling its user-level rule.
Documentation
- Added guidance for Cursor, Claude Code, and Skills CLI installation paths.
Updates
- Updated the release version to 0.51.2.

…0.51.2) Cursor installs from .cursor-plugin/plugin.json. Skills live under cursor-plugin/ so the skills CLI keeps using broomva/skills, and the manifest points hooks at an empty Cursor hooks file so hooks/hooks.json stays the Claude Code map. Patch bump: additive install path, no change to default Claude or CLI behavior. Co-authored-by: Carlos D. Escobar-Valbuena <carlosdavidescobar@gmail.com>

Walkthrough

The release adds an opt-in Cursor plugin with skills and an installable hard-gate rule. It documents the Cursor, Claude Code, and Skills CLI install paths, updates the release version to 0.51.2, and checks the Cursor manifest during release version validation.

Changes: Cursor Plugin

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Plugin setup and hard-gate rule `.cursor-plugin/plugin.json`, `cursor-plugin/hooks.json`, `cursor-plugin/rules/bstack-hard-gates.mdc`, `cursor-plugin/skills/setup-bstack/SKILL.md`	Adds the Cursor manifest, an empty hooks document, an opt-in hard-gate rule, and a skill that installs the rule as an always-applied user rule.
Skill workflows `cursor-plugin/skills/{broomva-workspace,autonomous,cross-review,dogfood,bookkeeping,kg}/SKILL.md`	Adds skills for workspace startup, autonomous work, cross-review, dogfooding, bookkeeping, and knowledge-graph loading.
Release version alignment `VERSION`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`, `bin/bstack`, `tests/upgrade-trap-cleanup.test.sh`, `CHANGELOG.md`	Sets the release version and Claude manifests to 0.51.2, adds the Cursor manifest to version checks, and records the release changes.
Installation guidance and plugin validation `README.md`, `docs/cursor-plugin.md`, `tests/cursor-plugin.test.sh`	Documents the install paths and Cursor setup. Adds checks for the manifest, hooks, rule, skills, frontmatter, platform notes, and relative Markdown links.

- Line 39: Update the kg refresh command to resolve bookkeeping.py using the
documented BK layout instead of the current BROOMVA_ROOT-based path, so it works
when that layout is installed.

Review comments at @cursor-plugin/skills/setup-bstack/SKILL.md:
- Line 12: Update the setup-bstack skill’s rule-location instructions so the
hard-gate reminder is reliably active for the documented checkout: use a
supported project or plugin rule location, or direct users to configure it
through Cursor User Rules for a global rule instead of relying on
~/.cursor/rules discovery.

Use the bookkeeping skill's documented script path.

The kg skill uses a different path from the bookkeeping skill. When the documented BK layout is installed, the refresh command can fail because bookkeeping.py is not at the path used by kg.

Use a rule location Cursor loads for projects outside the home directory.

When a user opens the documented /Volumes/Broomva/ checkout, Cursor can miss ~/.cursor/rules/bstack.mdc. The file then exists with alwaysApply: true, but /setup-bstack does not make the hard-gate reminder active. Cursor identifies this as a limitation of home-directory MDC discovery. Use a supported project or plugin rule location, or direct users to Cursor User Rules for a global rule. (forum.cursor.com)
