Setup pstack

In Claude Code, read the Claude Code adapter once per session before you follow this skill. It maps the Cursor names in pstack skills to Claude Code.

Write ~/.cursor/rules/pstack-models.mdc, an always-applied rule that sets pstack's model per role.

Steps

1. Detect available models

Enumerate the model slugs you can pass to a Task subagent in this session. That is the dependable source. If Cursor also exposes a models API or CLI that lists the user's entitled models, prefer it for completeness. If you cannot detect any, ask the user to paste the slugs they have access to. Never write a real slug you have not confirmed is available. The aliases inherit-parent and auto are always valid even though they are not detected slugs.

2. Load current state

The default role-to-model mapping is the rule shape shown in step 5 below. If ~/.cursor/rules/pstack-models.mdc already exists, read it and treat its # budget line and its role values as the current choices. Otherwise start from those defaults. A line whose role is not in step 5, such as how critics, is from a retired role. Drop it.

3. Budget, map, and confirm

(a) Ask for a budget. Prefer AskQuestion over free text. Offer these four options with these exact labels, and name the current budget when the rule records one. With no rule, say that large matches the skill defaults.
