Install a skill into Cursor
Cursor reads rules from .cursor/rules/ in the project. A skill drops in as a rule file.
Step 1
Find the rules folder
Cursor uses .cursor/rules/ for project rules. Create it if needed.
Step 2
Copy the skill in as a rule
Place the skill so it reads as a Cursor rule. For a single skill, the skill folder (SKILL.md + references) works as a rule set.
Step 3
Enable the rule
Rules are auto-loaded for the project. Restart Cursor or reload the workspace to pick them up.
