Sentiment Analysis

Overview

Sentiment analysis determines emotional tone and opinions in text, enabling understanding of customer satisfaction, brand perception, and feedback analysis.

Approaches

• Lexicon-based: Using sentiment dictionaries
• Machine Learning: Training classifiers on labeled data
• Deep Learning: Neural networks for complex patterns
• Aspect-based: Sentiment about specific features
• Multilingual: Non-English text analysis

Sentiment Types

• Positive: Favorable, satisfied
• Negative: Unfavorable, dissatisfied
• Neutral: Factual, no clear sentiment
• Mixed: Combination of sentiments

How to use sentiment-analysis on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
1
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 sentiment-analysis
2
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
$npx skills add https://github.com/aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --skill sentiment-analysiscopy
The skills CLI fetches sentiment-analysis from GitHub repository aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts and configures it for Cursor.
3
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│   • Amp
│   • Antigravity
│   • Cline
│   • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│   • Cursor
│   • Windsurf
4
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/sentiment-analysis
Reload or restart Cursor to activate sentiment-analysis. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /sentiment-analysis) 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.
