2 things to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Operational guidance for Cursor's /best-of-n command. Activates when running parallel model attempts and selecting the strongest result.

/best-of-n — Parallel Model Selection

Guidance for using Cursor's parallel attempt feature to improve output quality.

When to use

  • Ambiguous requirements where multiple approaches are viable
  • High-stakes code where correctness matters (security, data integrity)
  • Creative tasks where solution diversity improves outcomes

How it works

  1. /best-of-n spawns N independent attempts at the same prompt
  2. Each attempt runs in its own isolated worktree
  3. Results are evaluated and the strongest is selected
  4. Other attempts are discarded

Best practices

  • Use N=2–3 for most cases; higher N for critical paths
  • Write clear evaluation criteria in the prompt
  • Review the selected output before merging — selection is heuristic, not perfect
