How to use clean-code 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 clean-code

Run the install command

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

$npx skills add https://github.com/vudovn/antigravity-kit --skill clean-code

Fetches clean-code from vudovn/antigravity-kit 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?

│

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────

│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/clean-code

Restart Cursor to activate clean-code. Access via /clean-code 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.

Use Cases

User Story & Requirements Generation

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

Competitive Analysis

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

Roadmap Prioritization

Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs

Example

Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Principle	Rule
SRP	Single Responsibility - each function/class does ONE thing
DRY	Don't Repeat Yourself - extract duplicates, reuse
KISS	Keep It Simple - simplest solution that works
YAGNI	You Aren't Gonna Need It - don't build unused features
Boy Scout	Leave code cleaner than you found it

Element	Convention
Variables	Reveal intent: `userCount` not `n`
Functions	Verb + noun: `getUserById()` not `user()`
Booleans	Question form: `isActive`, `hasPermission`, `canEdit`
Constants	SCREAMING_SNAKE: `MAX_RETRY_COUNT`

Rule	Description
Small	Max 20 lines, ideally 5-10
One Thing	Does one thing, does it well
One Level	One level of abstraction per function
Few Args	Max 3 arguments, prefer 0-2
No Side Effects	Don't mutate inputs unexpectedly

Pattern	Apply
Guard Clauses	Early returns for edge cases
Flat > Nested	Avoid deep nesting (max 2 levels)
Composition	Small functions composed together
Colocation	Keep related code close

Situation	Action
User asks for feature	Write it directly
User reports bug	Fix it, don't explain
No clear requirement	Ask, don't assume

❌ Pattern	✅ Fix
Comment every line	Delete obvious comments
Helper for one-liner	Inline the code
Factory for 2 objects	Direct instantiation
utils.ts with 1 function	Put code where used
"First we import..."	Just write code
Deep nesting	Guard clauses
Magic numbers	Named constants
God functions	Split by responsibility

Question	Why
What imports this file?	They might break
What does this file import?	Interface changes
What tests cover this?	Tests might fail
Is this a shared component?	Multiple places affected

Do	Don't
Write code directly	Write tutorials
Let code self-document	Add obvious comments
Fix bugs immediately	Explain the fix first
Inline small things	Create unnecessary files
Name things clearly	Use abbreviations
Keep functions small	Write 100+ line functions

Check	Question
✅ Goal met?	Did I do exactly what user asked?
✅ Files edited?	Did I modify all necessary files?
✅ Code works?	Did I test/verify the change?
✅ No errors?	Lint and TypeScript pass?
✅ Nothing forgotten?	Any edge cases missed?
