Trusted by engineering organizations that have run out of other options.\n\n\"We deployed Cursed Plugins across all 47 of our repositories. Productivity metrics changed.\"\n\nModern codebases face unprecedented challenges: technical debt accumulation, architectural drift, developer attrition, and the slow, creeping realization that nobody remembers why `utils.js`\n\nhas 4,000 lines. Cursed Plugins addresses these challenges through targeted, AI-driven analysis modules that provide actionable intelligence at every stage of the software lifecycle.\n\n| Module | Description |\n|---|---|\n`/roast` |\nCandid code review from an industry expert perspective. |\n`/dating-profile` |\nCompatibility profile based on technology stack and architecture. |\n`/agent-repellent` |\nAssess your codebase's resistance to AI-assisted development tools. |\n`/performance-review` |\nAnnual performance review for your codebase. |\n`/cobol-converter` |\nCOBOL migration plan with translated output. Results are legally non-binding. |\n`/blame` |\nGit history investigation surfacing patterns and anomalies. |\n`/obituary` |\nRetrospective on deprecated and end-of-life code. |\n`/therapy-session` |\nGuided counseling session for your codebase. Not a substitute for actual therapy, though some teams have reported otherwise. |\n`/ship-ritual` |\nPre-deployment blessing for your next release. |\n`/feng-shui` |\nArchitectural harmony assessment for your codebase. |\n\n```\ndroid plugin marketplace add https://github.com/Factory-AI/cursed-plugins\ndroid plugin install cursed-plugins@cursed-plugins\n/plugin marketplace add Factory-AI/cursed-plugins\n/plugin install cursed-plugins@cursed-plugins\n```\n\nThese modules conform to the [Agent Skills](https://github.com/anthropics/agent-skills) specification and are compatible with any compliant AI coding agent, including **Cursor**, **Codex CLI**, **Windsurf**, **Gemini CLI**, and **VS Code** agents.\n\n-\nClone this repository into your project (or copy the\n\n`skills/`\n\ndirectory):\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/Factory-AI/cursed-plugins.git\n```\n\n-\nPoint your agent at the relevant\n\n`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`\n\nfile, or copy the`skills/`\n\ndirectory into your project. -\nThe skill files contain all instructions the agent needs to perform analysis and produce output.\n\nEach analysis module offers a one-click option to share your report's highlight on X (Twitter). The pull quote is pre-filled into a tweet draft, capped at 240 characters, so your team can enjoy the findings without context. Ideal for executive presentations, team retrospectives, or passive-aggressive Slack messages.\n\nThese modules are built by [Droid](https://www.factory.ai/droid), Factory's AI software engineering agent, in its ongoing mission to elevate code quality standards across the industry through rigorous, impartial analysis that absolutely never goes too far.\n\nCursed Plugins does not collect telemetry, store analysis results, or judge you personally. The codebase analysis is performed entirely within your local environment. Any emotional damage is strictly a client-side phenomenon.\n\nTo check the license, see the [LICENSE](/Factory-AI/cursed-plugins/blob/main/LICENSE.jpeg) file. Use responsibly.
