What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Authoring `.cursor/skills/` skill packs that the Cursor Agent and SDK can pick up. Use when adding reusable capabilities to a project (or user-global), structuring SKILL.md frontmatter, and pairing skills with the SDK via `local.settingSources`.

cursor-skills-system
Cursor follows the Agent Skills spec: 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.mdfrontmatter - Structuring atomic
references/*.mdfor an agent to traverse
