What it does
Create Plugin Scaffold is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create a new Cursor plugin scaffold with a valid manifest, component directories, and marketplace wiring. Use when starting a new plugin or adding a plugin to a multi-plugin repository.
Its SKILL.md is about 730 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 Development. The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.
When your agent uses it
- Starting a new plugin
- Adding a plugin to a multi-plugin repository
Example prompts
- “/create-plugin-scaffold”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Validate plugin name format: lowercase kebab-case, starts and ends with an alphanumeric character.
- Determine the target directory
- Create base files inside the target directory
- Populate plugin.json
- Create component files with valid frontmatter
- If repository uses .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json, add plugin entry
- Ensure all manifest paths are relative, valid, and do not use absolute paths or parent traversal.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f451cf. 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.
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
Create Plugin Scaffold loads about 726 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 325 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 325 words (~726 tokens).
“You need to create a new Cursor plugin from scratch and make it ready for local use or marketplace submission.”
