How to use legal-document-analyzer 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 legal-document-analyzer
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches legal-document-analyzer from GitHub repository qodex-ai/ai-agent-skills and configures it for Cursor.

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate legal-document-analyzer. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /legal-document-analyzer) 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.
