What it does
Create a new Cursor plugin scaffold with a valid manifest, component directories, and marketplace wiring. Use when starting a new plugin or adding a plugin to a multi-plugin repository.
Create plugin scaffold
Trigger
You need to create a new Cursor plugin from scratch and make it ready for local use or marketplace submission.
Required Inputs
- Plugin name (lowercase kebab-case)
- Plugin purpose and target users
- Component set to include (
rules,skills,agents,commands,hooks,mcpServers) - Repository style (
single-pluginormulti-plugin marketplace)
Output Location
By default, create the plugin inside the user's local plugin directory:
~/.cursor/plugins/local/<plugin-name>/
This path makes the plugin immediately available to Cursor without any install step. If the user explicitly asks to create the plugin elsewhere (e.g. inside an existing repo or a specific directory), respect that choice instead.
