Reset a stuck Cursor ACP thread in a chat app while preserving its history. Clean up orphaned processes, check CLI health, and reload configuration when the next message starts a fresh agent.
Reset a stuck Cursor ACP thread in your chat app and reload its configuration. Use only when the user explicitly invokes /reset-cursor-acp.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
For terminal sessions use cursor-cli; for general app control use <app-cli>.
cursor-agent acp subprocess per thread, on demand..cursor/mcp.json reload when a new subprocess starts.Resolve <reset-script> relative to this SKILL.md. Run:
<reset-script> <thread-id> # reset one Cursor thread
<reset-script> --self # reset the current thread
<reset-script> # no thread: orphan cleanup + health check only
<reset-script> --dry-run # show what would happen
<reset-script> <id> --kill-all # also kill live agents of OTHER Cursor threads
Find Cursor thread IDs using the app's status or thread-list command.
The script stops the selected thread, removes orphaned cursor-agent acp processes, reports CLI version/login/update status, and asks for the next message. Other threads stay running unless --kill-all.
If sandboxing blocks ps with "operation not permitted", rerun the script outside the sandbox.
Send one short message to verify a fresh agent responds. If it hangs again, check the causes below before another reset.
cursor-agent login, then reset.session/request_permission. Check and resolve the thread's pending approval before resetting.session/load → "Session not found", use a fresh session after stopping the thread rather than retrying the load..cursor/mcp.json.cursor-agent acp.pkill -f cursor-agent; it kills all Cursor threads and the interactive TUI. Use the reset script, which targets orphans by default.No reviews yet. Tell others what you thought.

Work through sixteen open questions in four rounds to clarify major product decisions, risky changes, or large refactors. The agent adapts later questions to earlier answers, then turns your decisions into a step-by-step implementation plan.
Document approved decisions as concise ADRs, or architecture decision records. It preserves the user's meaning and conditions, removes conversational filler, follows the project's numbering, and presents the saved record for review.
Keep a Mac awake for a chosen duration or while a specified process runs. The skill uses built-in macOS tools to manage one session, verify that sleep prevention is active, and control whether the display stays on.
Turn a feature or refactoring idea into a concise implementation prompt for another agent. It asks focused questions one at a time, records decisions, and includes development steps, validation, and working rules.
Inspect and manage BB threads, environments, projects, and plugins through its command line interface. The skill guides agents to identify the correct targets, apply changes, and verify the resulting state.
Create, install, and debug TypeScript plugins that extend bb with custom pages, sidebar panels, CLI commands, agent tools, themes, and other features. The skill also guides development reloads, log checks, and verification of installed plugins.
