How to use real-time-features 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 real-time-features

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 real-time-features

Fetches real-time-features 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/real-time-features

Restart Cursor to activate real-time-features. Access via /real-time-features 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.

Use Cases

User Story & Requirements Generation

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

Competitive Analysis

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

Roadmap Prioritization

Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs

Example

Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

// server.ts import WebSocket, { WebSocketServer } from "ws"; import { createServer } from "http"; interface Message { type: "join" | "message" | "leave" | "typing"; userId: string; username: string; content?: string; timestamp: number; } interface Client { ws: WebSocket; userId: string; username: string; roomId: string; } class ChatServer { private wss: WebSocketServer; private clients: Map<string, Client> = new Map(); private rooms: Map<string, Set<string>> = new Map(); constructor(port: number) { // ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

Implement reconnection logic with exponential backoff

Use heartbeat/ping-pong to detect dead connections

Validate and sanitize all messages

Implement authentication and authorization

Handle connection limits and rate limiting

Use compression for large payloads

Implement proper error handling

Monitor connection health

Use rooms/channels for targeted messaging

Implement graceful shutdown

❌ DON'T

Send sensitive data without encryption

Keep connections open indefinitely without cleanup

Broadcast to all users when targeted messaging suffices

Ignore connection state management

Send large payloads frequently

Skip message validation

Forget about mobile/unstable connections

Ignore scaling considerations
