Install in Cursor
Cursor runs a SkillPlug pack from an Agent chat and saves your progress as files in the folder you have open.
These steps use the Step 1 pack. For another pack, swap in its folder name (step2-pack, aways-pack, or skillplug-weekly-planner).
1. Unzip and make a study folder
- Unzip your download. You should see a folder named
step1-pack. - Create a study folder, for example
med-school-coach, and open it in Cursor with File, then Open Folder.
2. Copy the pack into a skills folder
Pick one location:
| Location | When to use it |
|---|---|
med-school-coach/.cursor/skills/step1-pack/ | Only in your study folder (recommended) |
~/.cursor/skills/step1-pack/ | In every folder you open in Cursor |
For the study folder option, open Cursor's terminal (Terminal, then New Terminal) and paste this (it assumes you unzipped into Downloads):
mkdir -p .cursor/skillscp -R ~/Downloads/step1-pack .cursor/skills/Or, in Cursor's file sidebar, create a .cursor folder, a skills folder inside it, and drag the whole step1-pack folder in.
3. Start your first session
- Open a new Agent chat in Cursor.
- Say: "Set me up for Step 1".
- Answer the setup interview. Cursor creates
skillplug-state/in your study folder.
Cursor may also list the pack's sub-skills one by one. That's fine: they all route back through the root SKILL.md.
Next time
Open the same study folder in Cursor, start an Agent chat, and talk naturally: "Check in.", "Log today.", "Weekly review."
If the pack doesn't start, check the path is .cursor/skills/step1-pack/SKILL.md with no extra folder level, then see Troubleshooting.
