Cursor AI Skills Marketplace: Using SKILL.md with Cursor

Quick Answer: Cursor supports SKILL.md skills from any marketplace. Drop the unzipped skill folder into .cursor/rules/ in your repo (project-scoped) or ~/.cursor/skills/ (global). The three skills most Cursor users install first on Agensi are code-reviewer (free, 764 installs), git-commit-writer (free, 232 installs), and readme-generator (free, 171 installs).

SKILL.md vs .cursorrules

.cursorrules is a single always-on prompt at the repo root. SKILL.md is a portable, versioned skill package that can be scoped, loaded on demand, and reused across Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex CLI. Both work in Cursor. SKILL.md wins the moment you want the same behavior in another agent.
