Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionenergy-managementExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches energy-management from refoundai/lenny-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 energy-management. Access via /energy-management 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.

Help the user manage their energy for sustained performance using frameworks from 5 product leaders who have optimized their personal productivity and avoided burnout.
When the user asks for help with energy management:
Anneka Gupta: "Being able to manage my energy levels and figuring out how to schedule my time for my energy has really allowed me also to figure out how to have that abundant mindset in all situations." Manage mental and emotional energy, not just calendar slots.
Bob Moesta: "Think of moments where you actually go into a situation and you get energy from it. At the same time, those moments where you go in and you get the life sucked out of you - that's an experience." Use this framework to identify what to pursue and what to delegate.
Claire Vo: "Categorize the way you're spending your time into those buckets, and then put the bottom buckets away. Just focus on that top bucket and go, 'How can I be here more?'" Find your 'zone of genius' work and delegate energy-zapping tasks.
Donna Lichaw: "If you subscribe to this idea of managing your energy, not your time, this will help you do that. If you're using your superpowers, you will have more energy." Working in your strengths generates energy rather than depleting it.
Paul Millerd: "Pay really close attention to what gives you energy after you do the thing. Say you have a call. Did that give you energy or did that sap you of energy?" Track what energizes vs saps you after every interaction or task to guide career direction.
