Nuke Cursor App

Why this exists

Cursor (the AI IDE) is an Electron-based VS Code fork. It has a known, Cursor-acknowledged memory leak: the renderer process accumulates tool-call state (diffs, file contexts) during long agent sessions and never frees it, especially in the Agents window. The UI gets laggy, then freezes. The only reliable recovery is a full restart — that is what this skill does, end to end: snapshot → kill → relaunch → before/after report.

How Cursor runs

One main process at /Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/MacOS/Cursor plus helper processes (Renderer, GPU, extension host, network service, crashpad) that all live under the /Applications/Cursor.app bundle path.
