Incremental Processing State Tracker: Claude Code Prompt

Build a cursor-based state tracker that remembers the last processed item so loops process only new records each run

Write the incremental processing cursor for the agent loop in [YOUR_PROJECT].

Implement a Cursor class backed by .agent/cursors/[CURSOR_NAME].json:
**get()**: Return the last stored cursor value (ID, timestamp, or page 
TLDR

Cursor-based incremental processing state for Claude Code loops. Stores the ID or timestamp of the last processed item so each loop run processes only new records, avoiding duplicate work across runs.

How to use

  1. 1

    Start by replacing [YOUR_PROJECT] with the specific name of your project to ensure the prompt is tailored to your context.

  2. 2

    After implementing the Cursor class, test its functionality thoroughly to confirm that get(), set(), and reset() methods behave as expected in your agent loop.

  3. 3

    Use the provided usage pattern as a checklist to verify that each step integrates seamlessly with your data processing logic for optimal results.
