cursor/plugins defines the .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest and ships Thermos (deep security and correctness audits with parallel subagents), Continual Learning (incremental transcript-driven AGENTS.md memory updates from high-signal bullets only), Ralph Loop, CLI for Agents (patterns for CLIs agents can run reliably: flags, examples, idempotency, dry-run) and PR Review Canvas. It picked up 473 stars in a day to reach 3,867. (GitHub) Note that Cursor's Continual Learning plugin writes to AGENTS.md, which is a quiet counterpoint to story 3.
