What it does
Suggesting Skills is an agent skill from spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills. When the user struggles with a task that a known skill could handle, suggest installing it.
Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome skills for Cursor. The licence is CC0-1.0.
When your agent uses it
- Struggles with a task that a known skill could handle
- Suggest installing it
Example prompts
- “/suggesting-skills”
Requirements
- Docker
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99cd265. 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
Suggesting Skills loads about 517 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 208 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.

Suggesting Skills
Watch for moments where the user is working on something that an existing skill would make easier. Suggest it when the timing is natural.
Triggers
Suggest a skill when:
- The user asks how to do something a skill covers (e.g. "how do I add Sentry?" →
adding-error-tracking) - The user is struggling with a task and a skill has a proven workflow for it
- You notice the project is missing something a skill could set up (e.g. no tests, no CI)
- The user is manually doing something a Cursor-native skill automates
How to Suggest
Keep it brief and contextual:
There's a skill for that — `adding-error-tracking` handles Sentry
setup with source maps and performance monitoring. Want me to use it?Or when you notice a gap:
This project doesn't have CI set up. The `setting-up-ci` skill can
scaffold a GitHub Actions pipeline with lint, test, and build steps.
Want me to set that up?Skill Reference

Rules
- Don't spam skill suggestions — one per conversation unless asked
- Only suggest when the timing is natural (user is about to do the thing, not mid-task)
- If the user declines, don't suggest the same skill again
