What Makes These Skills Different
Every skill follows the same quality bar:
- Workflow, not vibes — ordered phases with a clear entry point ("run this first")
- Severity models — findings ranked Blocker/Major/Minor, not flat lists
- Runnable commands — verification snippets you can execute, not abstract advice
- Output templates — every skill ends in a structured, reusable report format
- Anti-patterns sections — what NOT to do, learned the hard way
- Cross-references — skills link to each other and to the matching templates
Deep-dive skills (GEO, devtools, writing, frontend) run 200–450 lines with extended rubrics, examples, and checklists.
How Plugins Work
Each plugin is a folder with:
engineering/
├── plugin.json # Metadata (author: Cloud9's)
├── README.md # Plugin docs
└── skills/
└── code-review/
└── SKILL.md # Cursor Agent Skill
When you cursorkit plugin install engineering, all skill directories (including references/ where present) are copied into your Cursor skills directory. Cursor Agent discovers them automatically.
Using Skills in Cursor
- Install a plugin:
cursorkit plugin install engineering - Open Cursor chat or Agent
- Skills trigger automatically by context, or invoke directly:
- "Review this PR for security issues" →
code-review - "Audit my site for AI search" →
geo-audit - "Search my documents for Q3 notes" →
document-search - "Make this release notes sound human" →
natural-release-notes
- "Review this PR for security issues" →
