How to use aws-lambda-functions on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
›Active project directory where you want to add aws-lambda-functions

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --skill aws-lambda-functions

Fetches aws-lambda-functions from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────

│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/aws-lambda-functions

Restart Cursor to activate aws-lambda-functions. Access via /aws-lambda-functions in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Best Practices

✅ DO

Use environment variables for configuration

Implement proper error handling and logging

Optimize package size and dependencies

Set appropriate timeout and memory

Use Lambda Layers for shared code

Implement concurrency limits

Enable X-Ray tracing for debugging

Create long-running operations (>15 min)

Ignore cold start optimization

Forget to handle concurrent executions

Ignore CloudWatch metrics

Use too much memory unnecessarily
