What it does
Convert 'Applied intelligently' Cursor rules (.cursor/rules/*.mdc) and slash commands (.cursor/commands/*.md) to Agent Skills format (.cursor/skills/). Use when the user wants to migrate rules or commands to skills, convert .mdc rules to SKILL.md format, or consolidate commands into the skills directory.
Migrate Rules and Slash Commands to Skills
Convert Cursor rules ("Applied intelligently") and slash commands to Agent Skills format.
CRITICAL: Preserve the exact body content. Do not modify, reformat, or "improve" it - copy verbatim.
Locations
| Level | Source | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| Project | {workspaceFolder}/**/.cursor/rules/*.mdc, {workspaceFolder}/.cursor/commands/*.md | |
| User | ~/.cursor/commands/*.md |
Notes:
- Cursor rules inside the project can live in nested directories. Be thorough in your search and use glob patterns to find them.
- Ignore anything in ~/.cursor/worktrees
- Ignore anything in ~/.cursor/skills-cursor. This is reserved for Cursor's internal built-in skills and is managed automatically by the system.
Finding Files to Migrate
Rules: Migrate if rule has a description but NO globs and NO alwaysApply: true.
Commands: Migrate all - they're plain markdown without frontmatter.
