Skills nested in folders under .cursor work correctly in the Cursor IDE, but not in Automations.
When skills are placed in subfolders (e.g., .cursor/category/my-skill/SKILL.md), they are incorrectly displayed in Automations as category instead of my-skill.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a skill in a .cursor/category/my-skill/SKILL.md.
Type / in Cursor IDE: it works.
Type / in Cursor Automations (web): it does display category instead of my-skill
Expected Behavior
Cursor Automations display the correct list of nested skills.
Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. Nested directories under .cursor/skills/ resolve correctly in the IDE, but not in Automations, and not in the CLI.
The team is aware, but there’s no ETA yet. As a workaround, you can move skills up one level of nesting, for example .cursor/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md with no intermediate folders. I know that’s not ideal if the structure matters, but for now it’s the only way to make sure Automations pick them up.
We’ve made some changes to how skills are discovered in Automations since you reported this. Could you give it another try and let me know if it works now?
