SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a local project has no git remote yet, setting up a hosted repository involves several manual steps: initializing git, checking for secrets, creating the remote repo, wiring up the remote, and pushing. This Skill automates that entire flow for Cursor-hosted repositories while guarding against common mistakes like pushing secrets or creating duplicate repos. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workspace inspection first: Checks whether the project is already a git repository and whether a remote exists, refusing to create a second repo or modify existing remotes. - Safe initial commit: Reviews what would be staged, verifies .gitignore covers dependency directories and secrets, and asks before including anything that looks like a credential. - Repo creation and push: Uses the origin CLI (installed and signed in via the origin skill when needed) to create the repo, add the remote, push main, and report the repo page URL. - Use Case: You have a new local project folder with no version control. Ask to create a repo on Cursor, and the Skill initializes git, commits safely, creates the hosted repo, and pushes it. ## Quick Start Create a Cursor-hosted repo for this project and push it.

Frequently Asked Questions about new-repo

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Cursor-hosted repo for an existing local project?▼

Run the new-repo flow: it checks for an existing remote, initializes git if needed, commits the project, then runs origin repo create and pushes main. The repo page URL is reported as https://cursor.com/codebase/<org>/<name>.

What happens if my project already has a git remote?▼

The Skill stops and tells you which remote exists, offering to commit and push instead. It never creates a second repo for a project that already has one and never changes existing remotes.

Does the new-repo skill check for secrets before pushing?▼

Yes. Before staging, it lists what would be committed and verifies .gitignore covers dependency directories and secret files like .env or credential files. If anything looks like a secret, it asks before including it.

What if the repository name I want is already taken?▼

The Skill retries once with a close variant, suffixing a word rather than random characters. If that also fails, it asks you to choose a name instead of guessing further.

Can I use this skill to create a public or GitHub-hosted repository?▼

No. This Skill only creates Cursor-hosted repos, which are not public; access is managed from the repo page. If you explicitly ask for a different host, the Skill defers to that request instead.
