Tuskway for Cursor
Cursor agents that start with the full picture.
Cursor's agents move fast inside one editor. Tuskway keeps the plan outside any single chat: the context, the tech design and the ticket briefs for each feature. A Cursor agent reads them before it codes, and so does the Claude Code or Codex agent your teammate runs.
What changes
What Cursor gets from Tuskway.
Install once for the team
An admin imports the Tuskway plugin into your Cursor team marketplace. Members add it in one click and sign in when Cursor asks.
Parallel agents, one design
Background agents on three tickets read the same design, so none of them quietly re-decides the API halfway through.
Mixed-tool teams welcome
Not everyone has to use Cursor. The spec is the same over MCP in Claude Code, Codex, VS Code or ChatGPT.
Setup
Connect Cursor in a minute.
Then run the workflow from Cursor, one command per step:
/start-epicCapture the goal, constraints and open questions./write-designDraft the tech design in sections your team reviews./draft-ticketsSplit it into briefs with acceptance checks./tackle-ticketBuild one ticket from its brief and design section.
Tuskway plugin
The plugin includes the MCP server and the Tuskway workflow skills: start an epic, write the design, draft tickets and tackle them. You connect once.

Say “set up Tuskway”. The setup skill checks the connection, finds your workspace and suggests what to do next.
Grok Bot uses this same install.
Without the plugin: MCP server only· show
Connects the tools without the workflow skills. The plugin already includes this server, so use one or the other. If you switch to the plugin, remove this connection.
One click adds Tuskway to Cursor. Sign in when it asks.

FAQ
Cursor questions.
Is this the same as Cursor rules?
No. Rules hold conventions that rarely change. Tuskway holds each feature's decisions, design and tickets, which change every day and need review.
Can I connect without the plugin?
Yes. The one-click MCP install adds the Tuskway server on its own. The plugin adds the workflow skills on top.
Your teammates use something else? Same spec.
Give Cursor a plan your team agreed on.
Every agent on the team reads the same spec, whatever tool it runs in.
