Install skills in Cursor
Every downloadable skill on SkillPass installs into Cursor. The skillpass CLI writes the skill's files where Cursor reads them, after the Skill Passport pre-flight has shown you what the skill asks an agent to do.
Where Cursor reads skills
| Scope | Folder |
|---|---|
| This project | .agents/skills/ |
| Every project (user-level) | ~/.agents/skills/ |
Cursor reads the shared .agents/skills folder that Codex, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode read too, so one install serves all of them.
Install a skill
npm install -g skillpass
skillpass add <slug> --target cursor
skillpass add <slug> --target cursor --global<slug> is the name on the skill's SkillPass page. --global installs into ~/.agents/skills/ for every project instead of .agents/skills/ in this one. Nothing installed yet? npx skillpass@latest add <slug> --target cursor runs the same install once.
The pre-flight report shows first: validation status, risk level, declared versus detected permissions, and findings. Medium or higher risk asks before anything is written, the download is verified against the pinned source hash, and the write is atomic. A pack installs every member skill in the files Cursor reads.
Or paste a prompt into Cursor
Replace <slug> and hand this to Cursor. It runs the same install through the CLI, pre-flight first, and stops for you when the risk is medium or higher.
Install the SkillPass skill "<slug>" (latest version) with the skillpass CLI, then report what you did.
1. From the project root run: npx skillpass@latest add <slug> --target cursor
Add --global for the user-level skills folder instead of the project one.
2. The CLI prints a pre-flight report before writing anything: validation status, risk level, permissions, and findings. If it stops because the risk is medium or higher, show me the report and wait. Only rerun with --yes after I approve.
3. When it finishes, tell me the installed path and summarize what the skill does in two sentences.
Passport: https://skillpass.dev/skills/<slug>Every downloadable skill's page has a Prompt tab with the slug already filled in.
Find a skill
The whole directory works with Cursor: every downloadable skill installs into the folders above, and every listing carries a Skill Passport you can read before you install. CLI tools and workflow systems are listed too; their pages link to their own install command or repository instead. The CLI guide covers search, updates, and removal.
