Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiondeveloper-onboardingExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches developer-onboarding from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate developer-onboarding. Access via /developer-onboarding in your agent's command palette.
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.

Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
- Start with a clear, concise project description
- Include badges for build status, coverage, etc.
- Provide a quick start section
- Document all prerequisites clearly
- Include troubleshooting section
- Keep README up-to-date
- Use code examples liberally
- Add architecture diagrams
- Document environment variables
- Include contribution guidelines
- Specify code style requirements
- Document testing procedures
### ❌ DON'T
- Assume prior knowledge
- Skip prerequisite documentation
- Forget to update after major changes
- Use overly technical jargon
- Skip example code
- Ignore Windows/Mac/Linux differences
- Forget to document scripts
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

We added developer-onboarding from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
Keeps context tight: developer-onboarding is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
We added developer-onboarding from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
developer-onboarding fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
Useful defaults in developer-onboarding — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
developer-onboarding has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: developer-onboarding is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
developer-onboarding reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
developer-onboarding has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
I recommend developer-onboarding for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
