Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versioneffective-goExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
epx add openshift/hypershift --skill effective-goFetches effective-go from openshift/hypershift and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
