# Cursor Kit for AI
**Curated Cursor Agent skills & workflows that turn a generic AI editor into a role-specific specialist.**

</div>
Skills tuned for engineering, frontend, DevOps, data, GEO, integrations, security, AI, and daily workflow — each with structured phases, severity models, runnable verification commands, and output templates. **Not checklists — playbooks.**
Inspired by top-ranked agent skill patterns, rebuilt for **Cursor** and paired with [Cursor Kit templates](./templates/).

## Quick Install
```bash
# List available plugins
cursorkit plugin list
# Install into current project
cursorkit plugin install engineering
# Install all plugins
cursorkit plugin install --all
# Install globally (user-level Cursor skills)
cursorkit plugin install frontend --global
```
Skills are copied to `.cursor/skills/` (project) or `~/.cursor/skills/` (global), including reference files where a skill needs them.

## What Makes These Skills Different
Every skill follows the same quality bar:
- **Workflow, not vibes** — ordered phases with a clear entry point ("run this first")
- **Severity models** — findings ranked Blocker/Major/Minor, not flat lists
- **Runnable commands** — verification snippets you can execute, not abstract advice
- **Output templates** — every skill ends in a structured, reusable report format
- **Anti-patterns sections** — what NOT to do, learned the hard way
- **Cross-references** — skills link to each other and to the matching templates
Deep-dive skills (GEO, devtools, writing, frontend) run **200–450 lines** with extended rubrics, examples, and checklists.

## How Plugins Work
Each plugin is a folder with:
```
engineering/
├── plugin.json # Metadata (author: Cloud9's)
├── README.md # Plugin docs
└── skills/
└── code-review/
└── SKILL.md # Cursor Agent Skill
```
When you `cursorkit plugin install engineering`, all skill directories (including `references/` where present) are copied into your Cursor skills directory. Cursor Agent discovers them automatically.
### Using Skills in Cursor
1. Install a plugin: `cursorkit plugin install engineering`
2. Open Cursor chat or Agent
3. Skills trigger automatically by context, or invoke directly:
- "Review this PR for security issues" → `code-review`
- "Audit my site for AI search" → `geo-audit`
- "Search my documents for Q3 notes" → `document-search`
- "Make this release notes sound human" → `natural-release-notes`
### Pairing with Templates
| Goal | Plugin + Template |
|------|-------------------|
| Ship a SaaS | `engineering` + `frontend` + `cursorkit create full-stack-saas` |
| K8s deploy | `devops` + `cursorkit create kubernetes` |
| Data pipeline | `data` + `cursorkit create postgresql` |
| Telegram bot | `automation` + `cursorkit create telegram-bot` |
| LLM agent | `ai` + `integrations` + `cursorkit create ai-agents` |
| Content marketing | `geo-seo` + `writing` |

## Creating Custom Plugins
1. Copy any plugin folder as a starting point
2. Edit `plugin.json` and add skills under `skills/`
3. Each skill needs `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter:
```markdown
---
name: my-skill
description: When to trigger this skill automatically.
---
# Skill instructions for the agent...
```
4. Share via PR or keep in your team's fork.
