What it does

Migrate To Skills is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Convert 'Applied intelligently' Cursor rules (.cursor/rules/.mdc) and slash commands (.cursor/commands/.md) to Agent Skills format (.cursor/skills/). Use when the user wants to migrate rules or commands to skills, convert .mdc rules to SKILL.md format, or consolidate commands into the skills directory.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files and Hooks and plugins. The repository describes itself as: CoCo Super Intelligence is the orchestration layer that turns Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex into an engineering department: a routed advisory board, 226 skills, 386 commands…

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to migrate rules
  • Commands to skills
  • Convert .mdc rules to SKILL.md format
  • Consolidate commands into the skills directory

Example prompts

  • “Applied intelligently”
  • “/migrate-to-skills”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the rule file
  2. Extract the description from the frontmatter
  3. Extract the body content (everything after the closing --- of the frontmatter)
  4. Create the skill directory: .cursor/skills/{skill-name}/ (skill name = filename without .mdc)
  5. Write SKILL.md with new frontmatter (name and description) + the EXACT original body content (preserve all whitespace, formatting, code…
  6. Delete the original rule file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1a642ae. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Migrate To Skills loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 781 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 781 words (~1,607 tokens).

“Convert Cursor rules ("Applied intelligently") and slash commands to Agent Skills format.”
