optio-cursor

Run Cursor CLI (cursor-agent) as an optio task — either as a local subprocess or on a remote host over SSH — with the interactive TUI embedded in the optio dashboard via an iframe widget served by ttyd.

Install

pip install optio-cursor

Requires Python 3.11+. Pulls optio-core, optio-host, optio-agents, asyncssh, and aiohttp.

What it does

Cursor CLI is a near-twin of Grok Build / Claude Code. optio-cursor adapts the optio-grok machinery: it launches cursor-agent inside a detached tmux session, serves the TUI over ttyd, and coordinates with the host harness through the optio.log keyword channel (STATUS / DELIVERABLE / DONE / ERROR). The agent reads its task from an AGENTS.md file planted in the workdir.

Isolation

Each task runs under an isolated HOME (<workdir>/home) with the XDG base dirs (XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME) pinned under it, so cursor's ~/.cursor and ~/.cache state never touches the operator's real home. Permission rules are config-planted (cursor has no --allow/--deny argv): they go into <home>/.cursor/cli-config.json. At login cursor spawns xdg-open for the auth URL; the redirect browser-shim (front of PATH) captures it and surfaces the URL to the operator on a BROWSER: line instead of a browser popping on the host.

Status

Stage 0 (MVP): iframe/ttyd mode, local host. Resume, seeds, conversation mode, and filesystem isolation arrive in later stages.
