Cursor · Coding agent
Build a Cursor trading bot with an algo team inside Cursor.
Super Algo Kit adds an algo trading team to Cursor, so you can build your own Cursor trading bot in plain words. Cursor reads the kit's skills from .agents/skills and .claude/skills and loads its hooks from .claude/settings.json. Type /algo-start in the agent chat. The kit interviews you, builds and backtests with costs, and paper tests before any live step.
coding agent facts
Cursor
- How to start
- Open the folder in Cursor, open the agent chat and type /algo-start, or say Start Super Algo Kit.
- Where the files go
- AGENTS.md, skills in .agents/skills and .claude/skills, and hooks in .claude/settings.json.
- Autostart
- No automatic start. Type /algo-start each session, and the kit resumes from your saved state.
- Roles
- No Cursor-specific role files; AGENTS.md has the agent read each role file and work as that role.
- Guard
- Loaded from .claude/settings.json once the workspace is trusted. Test it once, as support for this format is not fully documented.
- Voice input
- Newer versions show a microphone in the chat box; if it stays silent, use your system's dictation.

Paper first
Super Algo Kit in Cursor, step by step.
Super Algo Kit runs inside the coding agent you already use. It interviews you, writes the spec with pass marks set first, then builds, backtests and paper-tests. Real money starts only when you type the authorize command.
The plan, step by step
Tick them off as you go.
How does Super Algo Kit install in Cursor?
The installer writes AGENTS.md and copies the skills into .agents/skills and .claude/skills, and Cursor reads both. Cursor loads the kit's hooks from .claude/settings.json once you trust the workspace.
No Cursor-specific files are needed. Your project state lives in .kit, so Cursor shares it with any other tool you install for.
What does a Cursor session with the kit look like?
Type /algo-start in the agent chat. The kit gives three short lines on what it will and will not do, then asks one question at a time.
Say explain that, skip or pause whenever you like. You approve each gate by typing its exact phrase yourself.
How do you build and test a trading bot in Cursor?
After the brief, you approve a strategy card and a spec with pass marks set before any test. The kit then builds the bot, backtests it with costs, and checks out-of-sample and walk-forward results.
Risk limits come from your own maximum loss, and a kill-switch drill runs on paper. Pick the strongest model you have for planning and review steps.
What are the limits of Cursor with the kit?
Cursor's hook support for this format is not fully documented, so test the guard once after installing. Ask the agent to switch on live authorization, and it must refuse.
There is no automatic start, so type /algo-start each session. Your Cursor plan is a separate cost from the kit.
Before you rely on it

- Hook support for this format is not fully documented, so test the guard once.
