Support for Claude Skills

Hey, thanks for the request. Cursor already has support for Agent Skills, and it’s compatible with the Claude Skills format.

But there’s an important detail: right now this feature isn’t quite ready for primetime. There’s no ETA yet.

Current status:

  • The feature is partly available in version 2.3.5+
  • It doesn’t work for everyone. It seems to only turn on if the ~/.claude/skills directory already exists
  • Some users are using Skills successfully

If you want to try it now:

  1. Update to version 2.3.x
  2. Create the ~/.claude/skills directory
  3. Restart Cursor
  4. Check Settings > Rules. You should see an Agent Skills section
