Questions
What are general skills?
Skills that do not fit one category. Each one is a folder with a SKILL.md file that Cursor reads when a task matches.
How do I install a general skill?
Copy the skill folder into .cursor/skills/ and start a new Cursor session. Each skill page shows the exact command.
Can I trust these skills?
We run a basic automated check for risky patterns. It is not a full audit. Read a skill before you install it.
