.agents/skills discovery

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Can we add automatic discovery for skills in .agents/skills? Codex, opencode and many other coding agents support that already.

Yes please. Cursor’s docs currently say it is looking in .codex/skills but that is not where Codex puts them.

I believe this is not just a feature request, but more of a bug (or at least a documentation bug). Because when you visit official Cursor docs for Skills, there is clearly stated that:

Skills are automatically loaded from these locations:

Location Scope
.agents/skills/ Project-level
.cursor/skills/ Project-level
~/.cursor/skills/ User-level (global)

I tested it today with latest version (2.5.26) and it does not work, the skill is not discovered in the .agents/skills directory. When I change it to .cursor/skills, it works.
