Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cursor skill?
A .mdc file in .cursor/rules/ that teaches Cursor how to write tests in a specific framework. Cursor reads matching rules whenever it generates or edits code.
How do I install one?
Run `npx @qaskills/cli add <skill-name>`. CLI auto-detects Cursor and writes the rule file.
Do these work with Cursor Composer?
Yes — rules apply to Chat, Composer, and Agent modes equally.
Can I use the same skill in Claude Code and Cursor?
Yes — QASkills.sh skills are agent-agnostic. CLI writes the correct file per agent.
Free?
Yes — all open skills are MIT. Some advanced packs are paid bundles.
What about Cursor Tab autocomplete?
Rules influence Composer + Chat. Tab autocomplete is a separate Cursor-built model that uses repo context, not .mdc files directly.
