Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionchat-sdkExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches chat-sdk from vercel/chat 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:
Restart Cursor to activate chat-sdk. Access via /chat-sdk in your agent's command palette.
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 environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Unified TypeScript SDK for building chat bots across Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Discord, Telegram, GitHub, Linear, and WhatsApp. Write bot logic once, deploy everywhere.
When Chat SDK is installed in a user project, inspect the published files that ship in node_modules:
node_modules/chat/docs/ # bundled docs
node_modules/chat/dist/index.d.ts # core API types
node_modules/chat/dist/jsx-runtime.d.ts # JSX runtime types
node_modules/chat/docs/contributing/ # adapter-authoring docs
node_modules/chat/docs/guides/ # framework/platform guides
If one of the paths below does not exist, that package is not installed in the project yet.
Read these before writing code:

await thread.post(`You said: ${message.text}`);
});

Read node_modules/chat/docs/handling-events.mdx, node_modules/chat/docs/actions.mdx, node_modules/chat/docs/modals.mdx, and node_modules/chat/docs/slash-commands.mdx before wiring handlers. onDirectMessage behavior is documented in node_modules/chat/docs/direct-messages.mdx.
Pass any AsyncIterable<string> to thread.post() or thread.stream(). For AI SDK, prefer result.fullStream over result.textStream when available so step boundaries are preserved.
import { ToolLoopAgent } from "ai";
const agent = new ToolLoopAgent({ model: "anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet" });
bot.onNewMention(async (thread, message) => {
const result = await agent.stream({ prompt: message.text });
await thread.post(result.fullStream);
});

node_modules/chat/dist/index.d.ts — Adapter and related interfacesnode_modules/@chat-adapter/shared/dist/index.d.ts — shared errors and utilitiesdist/index.d.ts files — reference implementations for config and APIsA custom adapter needs request verification, webhook parsing, message/thread/channel operations, ID encoding/decoding, and a format converter. Use BaseFormatConverter from chat and shared utilities from @chat-adapter/shared.
Each registered adapter exposes bot.webhooks.<name>. Wire those directly to your HTTP framework routes. See node_modules/chat/docs/guides/slack-nextjs.mdx and node_modules/chat/docs/guides/discord-nuxt.mdx for framework-specific route patterns.

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
