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
