To load a repo skill into Cursor without duplicating files, you can deploy it using a Windows directory junction. This links Cursor's global skills folder directly to the skill folder inside your repository, making all repo edits instantly visible.

A Windows directory junction is a filesystem link that points Cursor's global skills path to a specific folder inside your repository. It exposes the canonical skill to Cursor without copying any files, ensuring instant updates whenever the repo changes.

To deploy a skill to Cursor using PowerShell, run the Deploy-SkillToCursor.ps1 script with the SkillName parameter set to the target skill folder. You can optionally force the replacement of an existing path during execution.

Yes, you can use directory junctions to sync Cursor skills across local and CI environments. The script-driven deployment safely exposes the repo-backed canonical skill, ensuring consistent updates without file duplication in any environment.

The requirements to junction a repo skill into Cursor are a Windows environment, an existing skill folder located under skills/<name>, and the available scripts/Deploy-SkillToCursor.ps1 script to execute the linking process.

No, deploying a skill via a directory junction does not require copying files. The junction points directly to the skill folder inside agilebydesign-skills, eliminating file duplication while keeping Cursor up to date with repository changes.
