Cursor Skill (.mdc) Authoring

100 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By PramodDutta/qaskills (GitHub) · coding · 246 stars · scanned at commit 8d6cf5f

Author effective Cursor rules in .cursor/rules/*.mdc - YAML frontmatter (description, globs, alwaysApply), the four rule types, scoped QA rules, subagents, and structure that actually steers the model.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'cursor-skill-mdc-authoring' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'cursor-skill-mdc-authoring' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named cursor-skill-mdc-authoring already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/PramodDutta/qaskills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8d6cf5f6db54e56d14bd0ea2c9cfe7a097fb07ee' -- 'seed-skills/cursor-skill-authoring' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'seed-skills/cursor-skill-authoring' ~/.agents/skills/'cursor-skill-mdc-authoring' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'cursor-skill-mdc-authoring' ~/.claude/skills/'cursor-skill-mdc-authoring' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
