Stop copy-pasting skills into ~/.cursor

ide-agents is a small CLI + browser UI that clones git catalogs, scans SKILL.md and agents, and installs via symlinks into Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex — global or per project.

Install from npmRead the docsGitHub
npm i -g ide-agentsthenide-agents

Not affiliated with Cursor. Requires Node.js 20+ and git.

ide-agents Repositories — add and manage git skill catalogs
  • One source of truth — skills live in git, not in chat exports
  • Safe apply — won't replace real files that aren't symlinks
  • Private catalogs OK — any git URL you can clone

Clone and catalog in seconds

Paste a git URL or pick a starter catalog. ide-agents clones into ~/.ide-agents/repos and scans skills/*/SKILL.md and agents/*.md automatically.

Install skills with symlinks

Toggle Global or Project per skill — no copy-paste into ~/.cursor/skills. Updates flow from git pull + Apply; non-symlink targets are never overwritten.

Same flow for subagents

Agents from git install to ~/.cursor/agents (or project .cursor/agents). Dependent skills can be enforced so orchestrators always ship with their scripts.
