2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/onewave-ai/claude-skills --skill email-template-generator

The skills CLI fetches email-template-generator from GitHub repository onewave-ai/claude-skills and configures it for Cursor.

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/email-template-generator

Reload or restart Cursor to activate email-template-generator. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /email-template-generator) 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.
