Installs and configures benny, the dormant automation pack pstack ships alongside its skills. Benny gives a repository two Cursor automations for Slack issue reports: one triages each report (pstack-benny-triage), the other reproduces confirmed bugs and may prepare a small draft fix (pstack-benny-reproduce-and-fix).
The pack’s status is the distinctive thing. Its files are not registered as slash skills — the plugin manifest exposes only pstack’s normal skill root, so benny ships inert inside the plugin and is activated per repository. A human enters setup by pointing Cursor at the pack’s FOR_AGENTS.md, which copies the whole pack into the target repository at .cursor/automations/benny/ and then reads this file from its new location.
Four installation rules carry the design:
- The copy preserves destination-only files and reviews conflicts instead of overwriting local edits, so re-running setup over a customized installation is safe.
- Setup enables pstack in the target repository’s
.cursor/settings.jsonfor shared skills, making benny a consumer of the parent plugin rather than a self-contained pack. - User-owned configuration stays outside the copied pack (for example in
.cursor/benny/), adapted from shippedconfiguration.example.yamlandfeature-map.example.mdtemplates. That boundary is what makes the pack upgradable without clobbering a team’s settings. - Nothing is enabled until
.cursor/settings.json, the pack, and any secret-free configuration are committed, each automation draft is reviewed in its editor, and a harmless test report has been sent to verify every source-channel post stays in its original thread.
This is the wiki’s first instance of a framework shipping a dormant, repo-installed automation pack distinct from its invocable skill surface — capabilities that run on an external trigger rather than on a developer’s prompt.
