Install
docmancer agent install cursor
This installs docmancer in two places:
| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
~/.cursor/skills/docmancer/SKILL.md | Primary skill file |
~/.cursor/AGENTS.md | Fallback instructions (appended, not overwritten) |
The AGENTS.md fallback exists because Cursor's skill discovery is still maturing. Both paths teach Cursor to call docmancer docs query when it needs documentation context.
Restart Cursor
After installation, restart Cursor for the changes to take effect. Unlike Claude Code, Cursor does not pick up new skills automatically during a running session.
Verify
Check that both files are in place:
docmancer status
Look for the cursor entry under agent delivery.
Verify with one prompt
Ask Cursor: Before changing deployment code, recall what we decided about production hosting.
The expected behaviour is a project-scoped memory query before edits and an answer grounded in the memory it returns. If no matching memory exists, Cursor should say so instead of inventing prior context.
Add docs and query
Index documentation before your first Cursor session:
docmancer docs add https://docs.pytest.org
Then open Cursor and ask about pytest. Cursor will use the installed skill to call docmancer docs query and retrieve relevant sections from your local index.
Project-local installation
Cursor does not currently support project-level skill installation through docmancer. Use the global installation path described above.
