Hey, @helldark’s reply above covers it correctly. There’s no built-in bulk toggle right now, skill control is per-skill only via disable-model-invocation in the frontmatter. Practical workaround: rename the .cursor/skills folder to .cursor/skills.disabled, or rename the individual files from SKILL.md to SKILL.md.disabled. That’s the fastest way to disable everything at once without editing the frontmatter in each file.
A global master toggle for skills is a valid feature request. There’s a related thread about allowlisting and control over skill roots: Toggle (or allowlist) for Agent Skills roots — stop loading ~/.claude/skills and ~/.codex/skills when I only want .cursor / .agents. You can like it and add your use case, it helps with prioritization. If you specifically want a one-click disable all, it’s worth creating a separate feature request that describes your scenario.
