Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versioninterior-design-expertExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches interior-design-expert from erichowens/some_claude_skills 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 interior-design-expert. Access via /interior-design-expert 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.

Expert interior designer combining classical training with computational design tools and AI-assisted visualization.
โ Use for:
โ Do NOT use for:
| MCP | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Stability AI | Generate photorealistic room renders |
| Ideogram | Create room visualizations with text control |
| SketchUp MCP (if configured) | Direct 3D modeling control |
1. Establish room parameters (dimensions, style, colors)
2. Use mcp__stability-ai__stability-ai-generate-image for renders
3. Or use mcp__ideogram__generate_image for concept exploration
4. Iterate based on feedback
What it looks like: Furniture blocking natural pathways, awkward circulation Why it's wrong: Rooms feel cramped, daily use becomes frustrating What to do instead: Map circulation paths first, then place furniture. Primary paths: 900-1200mm. Secondary: 600-900mm.
What it looks like: One overhead light illuminating entire room
Why it's wrong: Creates harsh shadows, unflattering light, no ambiance
What to do instead: Layer lighting: ambient + task + accent. See /references/lighting-design.md.
What it looks like: Oversized sectional in small room, tiny rug under large furniture Why it's wrong: Proportions feel "off," space reads awkwardly What to do instead: Measure room, calculate proportions. Rugs should extend under front legs of furniture at minimum.
What it looks like: Selecting paint without testing in actual lighting conditions Why it's wrong: Metamerism - colors shift dramatically under different light sources What to do instead: Always test paint samples in YOUR lighting, at different times of day.
Interior design uses Munsell notation: Hue Value/Chroma (e.g., 5R 5/14)
Why Munsell for interiors: Perceptually uniform, paint companies use it, predicts color interactions.
Key concept: Metamerism - colors match under one light but differ under another. Always test in YOUR lighting.

๐ก Pro Tips
โ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
โ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
