Use repo context as the source of truth
Cursor agents are strongest when instructions, components, scripts, and examples live together. Keep the skill close to the system it operates.
Rules plus skills
Use rules for always-on conventions and skills for task-specific workflows. For example, a rule can enforce file naming while a skill generates a carousel storyboard.
Preview and inspect
When the workflow produces a web preview, ask the agent to run the app, inspect the route, capture errors, and summarize visual issues before marking the work done.
