Cursor Kit Plugins

Curated Cursor skills and slash-command workflows by Cloud9's.

Plugins turn Cursor from a generic AI editor into a role-specific specialist — with skills, commands, and context tuned for DevOps, backend, data, automation, security, and AI work.

7 plugins · 35 production-grade skills, each with structured workflows, severity models, verification commands, and output templates — not just checklists.

Inspired by knowledge-work plugin patterns, rebuilt for Cursor and paired with Cursor Kit templates.

Quick Install

# List available plugins
cursorkit plugin list

# Install into current project
cursorkit plugin install engineering

# Install all plugins
cursorkit plugin install --all

# Install globally (user-level Cursor skills)

What Makes These Skills Different

Every skill follows the same quality bar:

Workflow, not vibes — ordered phases with a clear entry point ("run this first")
Severity models — findings ranked Blocker/Major/Minor, not flat lists
Runnable commands — verification snippets you can execute, not abstract advice
Output templates — every skill ends in a structured, reusable report format
Anti-patterns sections — what NOT to do, learned the hard way
Cross-references — skills link to each other and to the matching templates

How Plugins Work

Each plugin is a folder with:

engineering/
├── plugin.json       # Metadata (author: Cloud9's)
├── README.md         # Plugin docs
└── skills/
    └── code-review/
        └── SKILL.md  # Cursor Agent Skill

When you cursorkit plugin install engineering, all SKILL.md files are copied into your Cursor skills directory. Cursor Agent discovers them automatically.

Using Skills in Cursor

Install a plugin: cursorkit plugin install engineering
Open Cursor chat or Agent
Skills trigger automatically by context, or invoke directly:
- "Review this PR for security issues" → code-review skill
- "Why is this query slow?" → sql-write skill
- "Design an agent for ticket triage" → agent-design skill

Pairing with Templates

Goal	Plugin + Template
Ship a SaaS	`engineering` + `cursorkit create full-stack-saas`
K8s deploy	`devops` + `cursorkit create kubernetes`
Data pipeline	`data` + `cursorkit create postgresql`
Telegram bot	`automation` + `cursorkit create telegram-bot`
LLM agent	`ai` + `cursorkit create ai-agents`
Secure a VPS	`security` + `cursorkit create vps-setup`

Creating Custom Plugins

Copy any plugin folder as a starting point
Edit plugin.json and add skills under skills/
Each skill needs SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter:

---
name: my-skill
description: When to trigger this skill automatically.
---

# Skill instructions for the agent...
