## What it is
A collection of small example projects and recipes for building with Cursor's coding agent, covering Cursor Hooks, self-hosted Cloud Agents on AWS, and the Cursor SDK (TypeScript API). It includes runnable samples like a quickstart, kanban board for cloud agents, CLI, and DAG task runner.

## Use cases
- run cursor coding agent from my own scripts via the sdk
- set up hooks to audit and guard agent prompts and shell commands
- self-host cursor cloud agents on my own aws infrastructure
- spawn coding agents from the terminal
- build a dashboard to manage multiple cloud agents
- fan out a task across parallel subagents as a dag
- learn how to integrate cursor agent events into my app

## When to choose
- you're building integrations or automation on top of the Cursor agent or SDK
- you want copyable examples for hooks, cloud agent deployment, or agent orchestration
- you need a starting point for running agents from code, CLI, or custom UIs

## When to avoid
- you don't use Cursor and want a general-purpose agent framework
- you need production-grade, supported tooling rather than example code
- you're looking for a library to install as a dependency - these are reference samples
