Visibility of Agent Skills usage/execution logs in Chat Context

Context:
I have created multiple custom Agent Skills following the documentation/specs.

The Issue:
During the conversation with the Cursor Agent, it is currently unclear whether a specific Agent Skill has been triggered or invoked. There is no visible indicator or log in the chat context showing which tool/skill was used.

Why I need this:
I need this visibility to debug and optimize my system prompts and the descriptions of my Agent Skills. Knowing whether a skill was called (or why it wasn’t) is crucial for refining the agent’s behavior.

Questions:

  1. Is there currently a way to view the invocation records or logs of Agent Skills within the current session?

  2. If not, are there any plans to add “Tool/Skill Usage Observability” to the roadmap?

Thanks!

Hey @xiaofeng_luo !

It’s a bit hidden under Explored…, but you can see in the chat when a skill was learned.

Thanks, Colin! I see it now.

However, the main issue is that this information gets collapsed and buried as the conversation progresses. In a long session, scrolling all the way back up to find exactly when and which skill was invoked is quite difficult and time-consuming.

Since I need this data to debug and optimize my custom skills, it would be incredibly helpful if the invoked skills were listed (or summarized) at the end of the response. That way, I can clearly see what tools were used for the current turn without hunting through the history.

@xiaofeng_luo Thanks for the feedback. Have you tried just asking the model what skills it used?
