Install
docmancer 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 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 doctor
Look for the cursor entry under "Installed skills".
Add docs and query
Index documentation before your first Cursor session:
docmancer add https://docs.pytest.org
Then open Cursor and ask about pytest. Cursor will use the installed skill to call docmancer 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.
