The cursor-mirror skill and cursor_mirror.py script lets you search through and inschpekt all of your chat histories, all of the thinking bubbles and prompts, all of the context assembly, all of the tool and mcp calls and parameters, and analyze what it did, even after cursor has summarized and pruned and "forgotten" it -- it's all still there in the chat log and sqlite databases. link The German Toilet of AI "The structure of the toilet reflects how a culture examines itself." — Slavoj Zizek German toilets have a shelf.

Most AI systems are French toilets — thoughts disappear instantly, no inspection possible. cursor-mirror provides hermeneutic self-examination: the ability to interpret and understand your own outputs. What context was assembled? What reasoning happened in thinking blocks? What tools were called and why? What files were read, written, modified? This matters for: Debugging — Why did it do that? Learning — What patterns work? Trust — Is this skill behaving as declared? Optimization — What's eating my tokens?
