Do
- Use conventional commit format (feat:, fix:, etc.)
- Follow *.test.js naming pattern
- Use camelCase for file names
- Prefer mixed exports
Don't
- Don't write vague commit messages
- Don't skip tests for new features
- Don't deviate from established patterns without discussion

How to use everything-claude-code-conventions on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add everything-claude-code-conventions
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches everything-claude-code-conventions from GitHub repository affaan-m/everything-claude-code and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate everything-claude-code-conventions. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /everything-claude-code-conventions) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.
