Cursor skills are SKILL.md folders that Cursor's Agent loads when a task matches. Unlike a rule, a skill carries full instructions and files, and Cursor reads skills installed for Claude Code and Codex as well, so the whole directory works here. This directory indexes 1,402 of them from public repositories, refreshed weekly, and shows for each proven one what it changed.

A proven skill was run through Claude twice on a fixed brief, once without the skill and once with it, on the same model. Both results are live pages, and the brief, model and skill commit are recorded so anyone can repeat the comparison.
Yes. Every skill belongs to its author and links to its source repository with its license. Browsing, installing and the first proof are free; a $99 one-time Pro unlock opens every proof.
