How to use gpui-action 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 gpui-action

Run the install command

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

$npx skills add https://github.com/longbridge/gpui-component --skill gpui-action

Fetches gpui-action from longbridge/gpui-component 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?

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.

Quick Start

Simple Actions

use gpui::actions; actions!(editor, [MoveUp, MoveDown, Save, Quit]); const CONTEXT: &str = "Editor"; pub fn init(cx: &mut App) { cx.bind_keys([ KeyBinding::new("up", MoveUp, Some(CONTEXT)), KeyBinding::new("down", MoveDown, Some(CONTEXT)), KeyBinding::new("cmd-s", Save, Some(CONTEXT)), KeyBinding::new("cmd-q", Quit, Some(CONTEXT)), ]); } impl Render for Editor { fn render(&mut self, _: &mut Window, cx: &mut Context<Self>) -> impl IntoElement { div() .key_context(CONTEXT) .on_action(cx.listener(Self::move_up)) .on_action(cx.listener(Self::move_down)) .on_action(cx.listener(Self::save)) } } impl Editor { fn move_up(&mut self, _: &MoveUp, cx: &mut Context<Self>) { // Handle move up cx.notify(); } fn move_down(&mut self, _: &MoveDown, cx: &mut Context<Self>) { cx.notify(); } fn save(&mut self, _: &Save, cx: &mut Context<Self>) { // Save logic cx.notify(); } }

Context-Aware Bindings

const EDITOR_CONTEXT: &str = "Editor"; const MODAL_CONTEXT: &str = "Modal"; // Same key, different contexts cx.bind_keys([ KeyBinding::new("escape", CloseModal, Some(MODAL_CONTEXT)), KeyBinding::new("escape", ClearSelection, Some(EDITOR_CONTEXT)), ]); // Set context on element divImplementation 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 1Install skill using provided installation command 2Test with simple use case relevant to your work 3Evaluate output quality and relevance 4Iterate on prompts to improve results 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.
