Cursor CLI's Auto-review now asks before deletes that may resolve elsewhere

Cursor CLI v2026.10.08 tightened Auto-review. It now asks for approval before a destructive delete when the target could resolve to something other than what the command shows.

What changed

The changelog says Auto-review "now asks for approval before recursive, force, wildcard, or mirror deletes whose target could resolve differently than written, such as an unset variable or a stray space in a path."

The changelog names those categories and two examples of ambiguous targets. It does not list the exact patterns Auto-review matches.

What to do

Nothing, if you already use Auto-review. Expect more approval prompts on deletes that use recursive, force, wildcard, or mirror options. Check that the target is what you meant before you approve.

The same release also added a yellow warning count in /skills for skills that break the Agent Skills limits. Selecting one lists what to fix.
