# cursor-skills-system
Cursor follows the [Agent Skills spec](https://agentskills.io/specification): drop a folder in `.cursor/skills/<name>/` with a `SKILL.md` and the agent can invoke it on demand. The SDK loads project and user skills when `local.settingSources` includes the matching scope.
## When to use
- Packaging reusable instructions / scripts as a named skill
- Choosing project vs user vs team scope
- Writing spec-compliant `SKILL.md` frontmatter
- Structuring atomic `references/*.md` for an agent to traverse
## Concepts
- [[references/folder-layout]] — `.cursor/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` + `references/`
- [[references/skill-md-frontmatter]] — required and optional fields
- [[references/skill-graph-pattern]] — Map-of-Content + atomic references with `[[wikilinks]]`
- [[references/scopes]] — project, user, plugins
- [[references/sdk-integration]] — loading via `local.settingSources`
## Distribution
- [[references/installing-skill-packs]] — `npx skills add <repo>` and bring-your-own
- [[references/internal-flag]] — `metadata.internal` to hide nodes from listings
