Cursor CLI as a T1 Discover Agent | Reinstate

Cursor CLI is T1: a read-only local index of terminal-agent chats. Reinstate does not launch Cursor as a native resume target, does not use it as a handoff source or destination, and does not sync Cursor sessions.

T1 means rein sessions --agent cursor, search, and inspect work against local Cursor CLI sessions. Resume and fork stay refused. The in-editor Cursor agent is a different product and is not this key.

What T1 includes

  • Read-only discovery, search, and inspect of local Cursor CLI meta.json chats.
  • Fail-closed behavior on an unrecognized meta.json shape.
  • Editor projects/ trees are not indexed.

What T1 excludes

  • No rein resume / rein fork of a Cursor session.
  • No structured handoff from or to Cursor CLI.
  • No rein push / rein pull of Cursor sessions.
  • No write into Cursor’s session store.
  • No indexing of the in-editor agent under ~/.cursor/projects.

Native resume is same-vendor, and Cursor CLI is not a T3 agent.

Evidence
