No skill, rule, command, subagent access in Plugins - only MCP

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I’m trying to use the new Plugins feature. I’ve installed several Plugins (Context7, Snowflake, Supabase), and for each one, only the MCP server is actually installed. None of the skills, rules, commands, or subagents are accessible or visible to Agent, or accessible + visible in the local environment (i.e. .cursor/ directory).

Steps to Reproduce

Install a plugin from the marketplace that includes skills, subagents, rules, and/or commands bundled with an MCP. Then look in .cursor/ for the relevant files, and ask Agent to use the relevant skills, subagents, rules, and/or commands. It will be able to use the MCP, but not the other four.

Expected Behavior

After installing a Plugin, users should be able to use the skills, subagents, rules, and commands that come prepackaged with the given vendor MCP; this is the whole point of the Plugin instead of just installing the MCP on your own. If Agent can’t access such skills, rules, commands, and subagents, then they’re dead weight.
