We’re excited to add Agent Skills to Cursor, an open standard for extending agents with domain-specific knowledge and workflows.
How it works
Define skills in SKILL.md files, which can include custom commands, scripts, and instructions for tailoring the agent’s capabilities to the task at hand. Skills are discoverable by the agent and applied only when relevant.
Compared to always-on, declarative rules, skills are better for dynamic context discovery and procedural “how-to” instructions. This gives agents more flexibility while keeping context focused.
What kinds of skills are you creating for your projects?
How do skills compare to rules for your workflow?
What skill templates or examples would be helpful?
If you’ve found a bug, please post it in Bug Reports instead, so we can track and address it properly, but also feel free to drop a link to it in this thread for visibility.
They’re two very separately hosted videos (and not too large here, 3.5 MB), so I would estimate that it’s a local issue! If somebody else has an issue watching the video, please share.
