调研方向
首先找到插件文档，并结合 ~/.config/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb 和 ~/.cursor/cli-config.json，检查 /plugins 和 /plugin uninstall 入口。记录安装、禁用和卸载的生命周期，确定启用状态键，并包含所请求的 CLI 以及新会话故障排除指南。
由索引模型根据 Issue 内容生成。
描述
Summary
There is no single doc that explains install vs disable vs uninstall for Cursor marketplace plugins, or where enabled state actually lives on disk. This causes repeated misdiagnosis (especially CLI-first users) when disabled plugins still appear under /plugins or when slash commands from a disabled plugin persist in autocomplete.
Related: #130 (opt-out / deactivate skills globally).
Problem
Users (and agents troubleshooting plugin state) commonly assume:
- If
~/.cursor/plugins/cache/cursor-public/<slug>/exists → plugin is enabled - If
/pluginslists a plugin → plugin is enabled - Moving/deleting cache dirs → valid way to disable
None of these match observed behavior on Cursor CLI (agent 2026.06.19, Linux).
Observed semantics
| Action | Disk effect | Agent effect |
|---|---|---|
| Install (marketplace) | Creates/updates cache under ~/.cursor/plugins/cache/cursor-public/<slug>/ |
Plugin ID added to enabled list |
Disable (toggle in /plugins detail or Settings) |
Cache retained | Plugin ID removed from enabled list |
Uninstall (/plugin uninstall <name>) |
Removed from installed scope | Must reinstall from marketplace |
Ground truth for enabled plugins
SQLite: ~/.config/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb
cursor.plugins.installedIds.no-team
cursor.plugins.installedIds.no-workspace # workspace-scoped overrides
Value is a JSON array of numeric marketplace plugin IDs.
Naming confusion: key says installedIds but value represents enabled IDs only — not "all plugins ever installed."
CLI ~/.cursor/cli-config.json does not store plugin enable state.
UX gaps (product — filing on forum too)
- CLI
/pluginsmixes marketplace browse + installed list; disabled (cached-off) plugins appear without an ENABLED / DISABLED badge. - Slash menu can retain stale entries in
agentData.cacheStorage.agentEnvironment.slashMenuItems.*(same vscdb); staff track this class of bug on forum #161008. /resumesessions may keep prior plugin context; new session required after toggling plugins.
Requested doc changes (this repo or cursor.com/docs)
- Lifecycle table (install / disable / uninstall) with filesystem + vscdb effects.
- Explicit note:
plugins/cache/= downloaded artifacts; not enable state. - CLI section:
/pluginsis browse + manage; verify enable state via Settings or vscdb keys above. - Troubleshooting: after disable, start new agent session; slash menu cache may need fresh session (not
/resume). - Link to forum threads for product UX bugs (uninstall button redirect, slash menu cache).
Environment
- OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
- CLI:
agent2026.06.19-20-24-33 - Example:
compound-engineering(ID 680) CACHED-OFF but cache present;cursor-team-kit(677) ENABLED — only distinguishable via vscdb, not/pluginsUI.
Note
cursor/cursor has issues disabled; forum is the right channel for IDE/CLI product bugs. This issue is scoped to documentation / plugin-spec clarity so plugin authors and power users stop fighting the cache directory.
