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 category-page-generator
2

Run the install command

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

Restart Cursor to activate category-page-generator. Access via /category-page-generator 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.

Documentation

Pages: Category Pages

Guides e-commerce category page structure, content, and SEO optimization. Category pages organize products by attributes and drive 3x more organic revenue than product pages by ranking for broad, high-volume keywords.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product catalog and site structure.

Identify:

  1. Catalog: Product count, categories, subcategories
  2. Facets: Filters (size, color, price, brand, etc.)
  3. URL structure: Current hierarchy, parameter handling

Category Structure

Hierarchy

Principle Practice
Logical grouping General -> specific (e.g., Furniture -> Bedroom furniture -> Beds)
User search intent Match how users search (e.g., "bedroom furniture" vs "furniture")
Crawl depth <=4 clicks from homepage; shorter paths improve indexing
Long-tail categories Niche categories convert better (36% vs 11.5% for broad)

URL Structure

  • Subfolders: example.com/shoes/sneakers, example.com/shoes/outdoor-shoes
  • Slugs: Descriptive, keyword-rich; lowercase; no stop words
  • Avoid: Dates, timestamps, /category/ prefix
  • Breadcrumbs: Show path; help users and crawlers

Faceted Navigation (Filters)

Filters create many URL combinations (size + color + price). Manage to avoid duplicate content and crawl waste:

Strategy Use
Canonical Point all faceted URLs to base category URL
robots.txt Block faceted URLs from indexing if needed
nofollow Add to internal links to faceted URLs
JavaScript Keep filters client-side; single URL for category

On-Page Content

Content Requirements

  • 150-300 words unique copy; pages with this rank ~2.7x higher than product-only grids
  • Placement: After hero/H1; FAQ block at bottom
  • Purpose: Help users decide; answer curation, materials, recommendations
  • Avoid: Manufacturer copy; crowding product grid

SEO Elements

Element Practice
H1 One per page; primary keyword; clear purpose
Title tag 50-60 chars; keyword; compelling for CTR
Meta description 150-160 chars; value props (free shipping, returns)
Schema ItemList, Product; AggregateRating if reviews; FAQ if applicable

Trust & Conversion

  • Reviews: Star ratings in SERPs; 99.9% of users read reviews; see serp-features for review rich results
  • FAQ: Answer materials, quality, recommendations; +157% conversion when used
  • Guides: Link to product guides; internal linking for SEO

Technical

  • Consistent layout: Same template across categories; predictable UX
  • Mobile: Responsive; touch targets >=44x44px
  • Redirects: 301 to category when product pages move; avoid breaking hierarchy

Output Format

  • Structure (hierarchy, URL paths)
  • Facet strategy (canonical, nofollow, robots)
  • Content (H1, intro copy, FAQ)
  • SEO (metadata, schema)
  • Checklist for audit

Implementation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
  • Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
  • Willingness to iterate and refine outputs

Time Estimate

15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity

Steps

  1. 1Install skill using provided installation command
  2. 2Test with simple use case relevant to your work
  3. 3Evaluate output quality and relevance
  4. 4Iterate on prompts to improve results
  5. 5Integrate into regular workflow if valuable

Common Pitfalls

  • Expecting perfect results without iteration
  • Not providing enough context in prompts
  • Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
  • Accepting outputs without review and validation

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Start with clear, specific prompts
  • +Provide relevant context and constraints
  • +Review and refine all outputs before using
  • +Iterate to improve output quality
  • +Document successful prompt patterns

✗ Don't

  • Don't use without understanding skill limitations
  • Don't skip validation of outputs
  • Don't share sensitive information in prompts
  • Don't expect skill to replace human judgment

💡 Pro Tips

  • Be specific about desired format and style
  • Ask for multiple options to choose from
  • Request explanations to understand reasoning
  • Combine AI efficiency with human expertise

When to Use This

✓ 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.

✗ 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.

Learning Path

  1. 1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
  2. 2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
  3. 3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
  4. 4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
