Prerequisites for Endor Labs skills

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• Cursor
• Node.js v18+ (for npx)

One-command installation

Run the following command from your project root to install all Endor Labs skills. The skills package detects Cursor automatically and installs skills into .cursor/skills/.

npx skills add endorlabs/ai-plugins

You can also install skills manually if you prefer.

Install skills manually

If you prefer not to use npx, clone the repository and copy the skills into your project.

1. Clone the ai-plugins repository to a temporary directory.

   git clone https://github.com/endorlabs/ai-plugins /tmp/ai-plugins
   

2. Skills can be installed at your project level by placing them in .cursor/skills/ at the root of your repository, or at the global level by adding them to ~/.cursor/skills/ to make them available across all your projects.

   Project level (at the root of your repository)

   mkdir -p .cursor/skills
   cp -r /tmp/ai-plugins/skills/* .cursor/skills/
   

   Global level (available for all your projects)

   mkdir -p ~/.cursor/skills
   cp -r /tmp/ai-plugins/skills/* ~/.cursor/skills/
   

3. Confirm the directory structure. Your project should have the following structure.

   .cursor/skills
   └── endor-setup
       └── SKILL.md
