Pattern: Cursor daily triage

July 9, 2026 · View on GitHub

Govern a daily Cursor/Composer triage session without loop-engineering.

Setup (once)

npx @cobusgreyling/outerloop init --with-cursor --name daily-triage

Daily cadence

  1. Run triage in Cursor with the verdict-aware rules (.cursor/rules/outerloop.mdc).
  2. Package evidence when the session ends:
outerloop evidence package \
  --run-id "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" \
  --from cursor \
  --project-root .
  1. Human verdict — interactive or scripted:
outerloop verdict review <evidence-id>
# or
outerloop verdict issue \
  --evidence-id <evidence-id> \
  --decision ship \
  --rationale "Report-only triage; no production code changed."
  1. Answerability check:
outerloop ledger why <evidence-id>

Backpressure

Set sampling in backpressure.yaml so low-risk report-only runs need verdict only weekly:

backpressure:
  sampling:
    lowRisk: 5%
    mediumRisk: 30%
    highRisk: 100%

Evaluate before shipping:

outerloop policy evaluate <evidence-id>
