Delegate a coding task to the Cursor Agent CLI (`cursor-agent`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Cursor — phrasings like "have Cursor implement X", "delegate this to Cursor", "run it through Cursor Agent", or "use Cursor to implement/fix/refactor" — or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Cursor while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.

When to use

• hand implementation work to Cursor
• delegate this to Cursor
• run it through Cursor Agent
• use Cursor to implement/fix/refactor
• run a queue of coding tasks through Cursor

When not to use

• The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
• The `cursor-agent` CLI is not installed or authenticated (run `cursor-agent login`).
• You want to write the code yourself, or you only need Cursor's opinion on code you wrote (a
