Plugin skills not showing available on cloud agent start conversation

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE and Cursor for iOS

Describe the Bug

I have the pstack plugin installed.
But with cloud agents it’s inconsistently available:

  1. When starting a new conversation in the Cursor glass desktop app: The skill is not available in the auotcomplete suggested skills (e.g. type /poteto)
  2. When typing a follow-up message Cursor glass desktop app: it is available in autocomplete suggested skills
  3. When starting a new conversation on the cursor.com agents web app: The skill is available and suggested when typing /poteto
  4. When starting a new conversation in the Cursor iOS app: The skill is not available in the auotcomplete suggested skills (e.g. type /poteto)

When the skill is not available in autocomplete and not recognised as a skill (orange text highlighting): sometimes it’s available to recognise the skill from the plugin cache, sometimes it’s not able to do this.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install pstack plugin on an account with a personal plan
  2. Setup a cloud environment on a repository
  3. See if /poteto is available as skill in Cursor glass desktop app

Expected Behavior

Skills (pstack) installed as plugin to always show the available skills in the Cursor desktop and iOS app.

Operating System

MacOS

Additional Information

It does always show the skill available on the web app cursor.com, which is strange.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report with the version and request ID. That really helps.

This is a known autocomplete bug, not a loss of functionality. When you start a new cloud-agent conversation in Glass desktop and iOS, the composer is working with a draft agent and doesn’t pull the plugin skills list yet, so /poteto won’t show up in suggestions. On a follow-up message, the agent is already running and the snapshot loads, so the skill appears. The web composer at cursor.com/agents always merges plugin skills, so you’ll see it in both cases there.

Workarounds:

  • Describe the skill in plain words in your message, like “use the poteto skill”, instead of using the slash menu. The backend loads the skill on the VM at every step, so the agent can still use it even if the UI doesn’t suggest it.
  • For starting new conversations, use the web composer at cursor.com/agents.

This bug is tracked for both surfaces, Glass desktop and iOS. I can’t share an ETA yet, but I’ll post an update in the thread when I have one.

Hey @midzy!

I’ve just tried this out and it’s working now. Could you give it another try on the latest version, v3.13?
