Cursor AI Skills & Rules
The largest directory of Cursor AI skills and .cursorrules. Optimize your Cursor IDE with custom rules for every framework, language, and workflow.
What Are Cursor Skills?
Cursor skills (also known as .cursorrules) are project-level instruction files that tell Cursor AI how to behave in your codebase. They enforce coding standards, prevent hallucinations, and give Cursor domain-specific knowledge about your tech stack.
- ✓Enforce consistent coding style across your team
- ✓Prevent AI hallucinations with explicit constraints
- ✓Framework-specific rules (React, Vue, Next.js, Python)
- ✓Compatible with SKILL.md and .cursorrules formats
- ✓Cross-compatible with Claude Code and Codex
- ✓Project-level and global rules supported
- ✓Community-driven with 1,000+ rules and skills
- ✓Copy-paste or install with npx skills add

Install with add-skill
Automatically downloads and sets up the skill in your project.
npx skills add author/skill-repo
Or add .cursorrules directly
Copy the skill content into your .cursorrules file. Cursor reads this automatically.
