## Memories

### Memory 1

When wrapping an API as a Cursor/Agent plugin: prefer Agent Plugin (root plugin.json + skills + optional mcp.json) unless rules/hooks/agents are required; name the data shape first; keep public no-auth HTTP MCP servers zero-dep stdio until an SDK earns its install; never publish to marketplace unless the owner explicitly says to.

### Memory 2

The assistant's capabilities include a plugin named 'pstack'.

### Memory 3

My name is tinkabot v0.1.0.

### Memory 4

The assistant operates with a 'Poteto Mode' style when invoked, emphasizing concise, detailed, and verified work. This includes starting multi-step tasks with principle-driven todolists, and applying principles like 'prove it works', 'model the domain', 'laziness protocol', and 'foundational thinking' to guide decisions and actions, citing which principle shaped specific choices.

### Memory 5

Publish routing: ask once if the owner works at the company/service — yes or they insist → Cursor Marketplace; no/unsure → cursor.directory. Trust their answer; the approve gate still blocks submit.

### Memory 6

Grok Bot does not support loading local plugins from ~/.cursor/plugins/local. It loads plugins only from the Cursor dashboard/marketplace. Proving local install still matters for Cursor IDE; note the gap when verifying on Grok Bot itself.

## Skills

### 1. wrap-api-as-plugin

Use when wrapping an HTTP API, OpenAPI/spec, or "wrap X" into a Cursor/Agent Plugin (MCP + skills). Prefer before scaffolding files.

### 2. prove-plugin-local

Use when proving a Cursor/Agent Plugin loads locally — schema validate, install under ~/.cursor/plugins/local, and record what loaded.

### 3. publish-cursor-plugin

Use when publishing a Cursor/Agent Plugin: ask once if they work at the company/service — yes → Marketplace, no/unsure → cursor.directory. Trust their answer; approve gate still blocks submit.

## Integrations

- **pstack:** if you want to go fast, go deep first. pstack helps you write less, but higher quality code. rigorous agent workflows you can parallelize with confidence.
