Cursor IDE

Cursor IDE skill creates a deep integration between your Claude agent running in OpenClaw and the Cursor IDE, enabling coordinated AI pair programming across both environments. While Cursor has built-in AI features, this skill lets your standalone Claude agent read and modify files in your Cursor workspace, share context between sessions, and automate repetitive IDE tasks that Cursor's interface doesn't expose programmatically.

File operations are central: read any file in your open workspace, write changes, create new files in the correct directories, and move or rename files while respecting your project structure. The skill reads your workspace's .cursor configuration to understand project-specific AI instructions and custom prompts you've defined for the project.

Git integration within the Cursor context lets your agent stage specific file changes, craft commit messages based on the actual diff, and prepare PRs — coordinating with the GitHub skill for the remote operations. Open terminal sessions in Cursor can receive commands from the agent, closing the loop between file changes and build/test execution.

Multi-file refactoring is a key use case: describe a refactoring operation in natural language, and the agent implements it across every relevant file in your workspace consistently. Cursor users working on large codebases find this skill dramatically speeds up broad changes that would require tedious manual updates across dozens of files. No API key required — the skill communicates with Cursor via its local filesystem API.
