Comprehensive guide for building modular skills that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge and workflows.
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
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example: Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versioncreate-skillExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
epx add siviter-xyz/dot-agent --skill create-skillFetches create-skill from siviter-xyz/dot-agent and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
