Slack team engineer Bot that manages Cursor cloud Projects

You want coding help from Slack without turning the Bot into the coder itself.

What hurt

lauren (@poteto) shared a favorite use case after Grok Bot gained stronger Cursor handoffs: create a new team engineer Bot and add it to Slack; @ the Bot whenever you want coding work; tell it to create new Projects to group related cloud agents into one conversation. Cloud agents can use any model available on Cursor and each has its own computer, so the Bot stays a manager instead of writing the code itself. Tip with author-published steps.

What to install or create

Team engineer Bot in Slack → @ for coding work → Cursor cloud agents / Projects → Bot manages, agents code.

Bots

  • Team engineer

    Live in Slack; accept @ coding asks; spawn/manage Cursor cloud agents and Projects; share progress demos.

Plugins

  • GitHub

    Required

  • X

    Optional

Files

  • Project briefs that group related agents; short handoff notes for each coding ask.

Routines

  • None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/poteto/status/2105377066942349794 (credit @poteto).
  2. 2Create a new team engineer Bot and add it to your Slack workspace where teammates can @ it.
  3. 3When you need coding work, @ the Bot with the task; ask it to hand off to Cursor cloud agents instead of writing everything itself.
  4. 4Tell it to create a Project when several related agents should share one conversation.
  5. 5Keep merge/deploy/spend as your decisions; use videos or PR links the Bot shares as the progress trail.

Approval fence

PR merges, deploys, and spend stay human-approved; the Bot may open work and share demos, not ship alone.

What to tweak

Steal manager-vs-coder: Bot routes from Slack; cloud agents own the computers and models.
