    Building skills in Cursor for efficient capabilites usage

    Nimrod Fisher

    Problem

    Creating reusable AI behaviors in Cursor often depends on dedicated tools or licenses. Without access to Claude Skills, teams may rely on rules or repeated prompts, which leads to higher token usage, manual activation, and harder to scale workflows.

    Solution

    Use Cursor to generate Skills directly from Anthropic documentation. By having Cursor build Skills based on official guidelines, it is possible to create task specific behaviors such as EDA, query optimization, or text analysis without a Claude license. Skills activate only when relevant, reduce prompt overhead, and scale better than project wide rules.

    Prompt

    Prompt #1:
    Create a skill for creating skills according to the official docs of Claude:
    https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills.
    
    Place it in a folder named skills-creation-skill.
    
    Prompt #2:
    Use the Claude skill on how to create new skills located in @.claude/skills/skills-creation-skill to create a new skill for running EDA process.
    Always rely on the official docs of claude to create skills.
