Layer thesis
How to read this branch of the ecosystem
This is the shortest explanation of what this layer is for and why it matters.
Cursor's own surfaces frame the whole ecosystem as an editor becoming an agent shell, so this is the fastest place to establish the mental model.

Work patterns
What people actually do here
These workflow slices connect the layer to real usage patterns.
Workflow pattern
Treat cloud, CLI, and model routing as escalation layers
Remote agents, command-line flows, and provider-routing tools matter strategically, but they are usually the second move after understanding the editor and conventions layer first.
Guardrails
What to remember while exploring
Layer-specific best-practice reminders that keep this branch legible.
Best practice
Read the official docs and marketplace as the product model, not just the feature list
The official surfaces repeatedly frame Cursor as an editor-plus-agent shell. That broader framing is what makes the ecosystem's rules, skills, plugins, MCP, and runtime branches coherent.
