Deploy to Your IDE

1. Copy your skill using the copy button on the SkillThis results page

2. Create the appropriate file in your project root

   Claude Code

   mkdir -p .claude/skills/your-skill-name

   Create .claude/skills/your-skill-name/SKILL.md and paste your skill content.

   Cursor

   Create .cursorrules in your project root and paste your skill content.

3. Start coding

   The AI will automatically use this context when working in your project.

How It Works

AI-powered IDEs load instruction files from your project directory. When you ask the AI for help, it reads these files and applies the methodology described in your skill.

• Claude Code reads from .claude/skills/ (one skill per directory)
• Cursor reads from .cursorrules (single file)
• Other IDEs typically support similar project-level instruction files

Tip

For Claude Code, you can have multiple skills in separate directories under .claude/skills/. Each skill is activated based on its description and trigger phrases.

IDE-Specific Tips

Claude Code

Claude Code supports the full skill format including YAML frontmatter. The name and description fields help Claude decide when to apply each skill.

your-project/
└── .claude/
    └── skills/
        ├── code-reviewer/
        │   └── SKILL.md
        └── api-designer/
            └── SKILL.md

Cursor

Cursor reads .cursorrules as a single instruction file. If you have multiple skills, combine them into one file with clear section headers.

your-project/
└── .cursorrules
