Cursor Cloud Agent Skills

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

If I use the Curser Cloud Agents, I’m missing all the skills that are within the project. They are just not appearing. I have them on the 1st prompt, but as soon as I start the 2nd prompt within the session, they are gone. And I’m talking about those that are already committed to the repository and should be there once checked out.

Steps to Reproduce

First, start a new Cloud session with an initial prompt. Then, for the 2nd prompt, type in “/” and wait for the autocomplete of skills to appear.

Expected Behavior

The list of skills should be shown from my project.

Operating System

Linux

For AI issues: which model did you use?

doesn’t matter

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Thanks for the report @nerumo! This is a known issue we’re tracking and working on a fix.

Hey @nerumo!

Thanks again for the report. This will be fixed in our next release, v3.11.

Following up after v3.11: still repro’ing on Cloud Agents in the Agents Window.

User-level skills are on the VM under ~/.cursor/skills (install via .cursor/environment.json works — files are present and the agent can load/run them when invoked in prose). But typing / still does not surface /<skill-name> for those user skills on follow-up turns (and often not reliably even when expected).

So: skills work if you say “use the ship skill”; slash autocomplete for user skills still doesn’t. Happy to share Cursor version / OS if useful.

Unfortunately, still not working for me

@nerumo Are you also installing skills into the home directory of a Cloud Agent VM, or are these skills sitting in your project’s .cursor/skills directory?

these skills are in the projects .cursor/skills directory

Thanks!

I was able to reproduce this on v3.13 (coming imminently), but only when the first turn of the cloud agent hasn’t finished yet. Once it has, I have access to the full Skills menu.

It would be better if the menu was always hydrated, and I’ll file an issue for that! Would be great to know if this matches what you’re seeing once you’re on 3.13.
