How to use axiom-using-axiom 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 axiom-using-axiom

Run the install command

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

$npx skills add https://github.com/charleswiltgen/axiom --skill axiom-using-axiom

Fetches axiom-using-axiom from charleswiltgen/axiom 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/axiom-using-axiom

Restart Cursor to activate axiom-using-axiom. Access via /axiom-using-axiom 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

Red Flags — iOS-Specific Rationalizations

These thoughts mean STOP—you're rationalizing:

Thought

Reality

"This is just a simple build issue"

Build failures have patterns. Check ios-build first.

"I can fix this SwiftUI bug quickly"

SwiftUI issues have hidden gotchas. Check ios-ui first.

"Let me just add this database column"

Schema changes risk data loss. Check ios-data first.

"This async code looks straightforward"

Swift concurrency has subtle rules. Check ios-concurrency first.

"I'll debug the memory leak manually"

Leak patterns are documented. Check ios-performance first.

"Let me explore the Xcode project first"

Axiom skills tell you HOW to explore. Check first.

"I remember how to do this from last time"

iOS changes constantly. Skills are up-to-date.

"This iOS/platform version doesn't exist"

Your training ended January 2025. Invoke Axiom skills for post-cutoff facts.

"The user just wants a quick answer"

Quick answers without patterns create tech debt. Check skills first.

"This doesn't need a formal workflow"

If an Axiom skill exists for it, use it.

"I'll gather info first, then check skills"

Skills tell you WHAT info to gather. Check first.

Skill Priority for iOS Development

When multiple Axiom skills could apply, use this priority:

Environment/Build first (ios-build) — Fix the environment before debugging code

Architecture patterns (ios-ui, axiom-ios-data, axiom-ios-concurrency) — These determine HOW to structure the solution

Implementation details (ios-integration, axiom-ios-ai, axiom-ios-vision) — These guide specific feature work

Examples:

"Xcode build failed" → ios-build first (environment)

"Add SwiftUI screen" → ios-ui first (architecture), then maybe ios-integration if using system features

"App is slow" → ios-performance first (diagnose), then fix the specific domain

"Network request failing" → ios-build first (environment check), then ios-networking (implementation)

Using Axiom Router Skills

Axiom uses router skills for progressive disclosure:

Check the appropriate router skill first (ios-build, axiom-ios-ui, axiom-ios-data, etc.)

Router will invoke the specialized skill(s) you actually need

Follow the specialized skill exactly

Do not skip the router. Routers have decision logic to select the right specialized skill.

Multi-Domain Questions

When a question spans multiple domains, invoke ALL relevant routers — don't stop after the first one.

Examples:

"My SwiftUI view doesn't update when SwiftData changes" → invoke both ios-ui AND ios-data

"My widget isn't showing updated data from SwiftData" → invoke both ios-integration AND ios-data

"My Foundation Models session freezes the UI" → invoke both ios-ai AND ios-concurrency

"My Core Data saves lose data from background tasks" → invoke both ios-data AND ios-concurrency

How to tell: If the question mentions symptoms from two different domains, or involves two different frameworks, invoke both routers. Each router has cross-domain routing guidance for common overlaps.
