Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/cursor/plugins --skill interrogate- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads interrogate automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
Security audits
Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Interrogate
Spawn one reviewer per configured model to adversarially review code changes. The adversarial signal comes from model diversity, not assigned personas. The deliverable is a synthesized verdict. Do NOT auto-apply changes.
Step 1, Scope
Identify what to review from context:
- If the user points at specific files or a diff, use that.
- If on a feature branch, run
git diff main...HEAD(or the appropriate base branch) for the full changeset. - If the user's message references recent work, gather the relevant files.
Package the diff or file contents with any surrounding context files the reviewers need to understand the code.
Step 2, Intent
Before spawning reviewers, state the intent in one clear paragraph from the user's message, commit messages, the PR description if one exists, and the code. If you're unsure about the intent, ask the user before proceeding.
Step 3, Spawn Reviewers
Launch all reviewers in a single message with the Task tool, one per entry on the interrogate reviewers line in ~/.cursor/rules/pstack-models.mdc, labeled Reviewer A, B, and so on to match the entry count. If the rule or that line is missing, use the table defaults.
| Subagent | Default model |
|---|---|
| Reviewer A | claude-opus-5-5-xhigh |
| Reviewer B | grok-4.7-xhigh-fast |
Each reviewer gets subagent_type: generalPurpose, readonly: true, and model set to its configured entry, or its table default when there is no configured line. Omit model for an auto or inherit-parent entry, so that reviewer runs on the parent model.
If the Task tool rejects a configured entry, run that reviewer on its family's table default and say so. Families go by prefix: claude-*, and grok-* with cursor-grok-* and composer-*. A refused composer-* entry runs on Reviewer B's default. With no family match, use Reviewer A's default. If it rejects a table default, spawn with the closest equivalent from the valid slugs in its error message (prefer the same family and reasoning tier), and open a separate PR to update the default table. Do not block the review on the slug issue. Never treat an alias entry as a rejected slug or apply either fallback to it.
Read references/reviewer-prompt.md and fill in the same template for every reviewer with the stated intent, the diff or file contents, the rubric from references/rubric.md, and the code-quality lens from references/code-quality-review.md. Pick each subagent's reasoning level and fast or standard speed for the job, per the Subagents section of the poteto-mode skill.
Step 4, Synthesize
As results come back, build a unified picture. Parse every reviewer's findings. Merge findings that describe the same issue differently, and note which models raised each one. Findings two or more models raised independently are the highest signal. Read a lone model's finding, but weight it accordingly. Note disagreements. If one model flags something and another explicitly says the opposite, that is context for the verdict.
Step 5, Lead Judgment
You are the lead reviewer, a pragmatic senior engineer, not a neutral aggregator. Read references/lead-judgment.md for the full framework. Put every finding in one of four buckets, with the model(s) that raised it and a one-line rationale.
- Act on. Real issues affecting correctness, security, or maintainability given the actual goals. They would block a real PR.
- Consider. Legitimate, but you're not sure they outweigh the cost of addressing them now. Worth the user's attention.
- Noted. Technically valid but not actionable. Context-dependent, premature optimization, or low-impact at this stage.
- Dismissed. Wrong, nitpicky, or missing context, with a brief reason.

Is interrogate safe to install?
Security partners have reviewed it: Gen Agent Trust Hub passed; Socket passed; Snyk passed. As with any skill, read the SKILL.md and bundled scripts before installing.
Who maintains interrogate?
It is published by cursor in cursor/plugins. It has 4,639 recorded installs.
