Cursor Skills

Cursor reads its own folders and the Claude and Codex ones, so a Skill you already use elsewhere shows up here too. 104 ready-made Skills for video, images, web pages and slides.

If the Skill must reach Cloud Agents, put it in ~/.cursor/skills/: that is the only personal folder Cursor syncs.

Project folder: .cursor/skills/ or .agents/skills/

Skills to try in Cursor

Each one is a plain SKILL.md folder, the format Cursor reads. Skills that make images or video call FAL with your own key, so your agent needs to be allowed to run terminal commands.

How to add a Skill to Cursor

Get the Skill’s ZIP from its card once downloads open, then:

Unzip the Skill so its folder sits at ~/.cursor/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md, or at .cursor/skills/<skill>/ in a project.
Restart Cursor: it discovers Skills when it starts.
Open Customize in the sidebar and go to Skills to see it.
Ask Agent for the result, or type / and pick the Skill for one message.

Good to know

Cloud Agents only get ~/.cursor/skills/. Turn on Sync Skills for Cloud Agents under Settings → Agents. ~/.agents/skills/ and project Skills stay on your machine.
Nested folders scope themselves. A .cursor/skills/ folder inside apps/web/ is only offered when Agent works on files under apps/web/.
A GitHub repo of Skills needs a plugin. Cursor doesn’t import Skills from a repository on its own. Unzipping into a Skills folder needs no plugin.

Cursor Skills vs rules

Discovered Skills appear next to rules in Customize, in the Agent Decides section. A Skill loads its resources only when Agent decides it is relevant; set disable-model-invocation: true and it waits for you to type /skill-name, like a slash command.

FAQ

Cursor Skills: questions

Where is the Cursor skills folder?

Project Skills go in .cursor/skills/ or .agents/skills/. Personal Skills go in ~/.cursor/skills/ or ~/.agents/skills/. Cursor also loads Skills from the Claude and Codex folders. Source (opens in a new tab)

Do my Claude Code Skills work in Cursor?

Cursor’s docs say it loads .claude/skills/ and ~/.claude/skills/ for compatibility, so Skills already in those folders show up in Cursor too. Source (opens in a new tab)

Why doesn’t a Cloud Agent see my Skill?

Only ~/.cursor/skills/ syncs, and only after you turn on Sync Skills for Cloud Agents in Settings → Agents. Automations don’t load synced Skills; put those in the repository’s .cursor/skills/. Source (opens in a new tab)

How do I use one Skill for a whole session?

Typing / attaches a Skill to one message. To keep it on for the session, use it as a Custom Mode. Source (opens in a new tab)
