AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionmacos-developmentExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches macos-development from rshankras/claude-code-apple-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 macos-development. Access via /macos-development 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.

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
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
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: macos-development is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
We added macos-development from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
Useful defaults in macos-development — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
Keeps context tight: macos-development is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
macos-development fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
I recommend macos-development for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
macos-development has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
