FAQPage Schema
How do I sync my development guide with live skills and MCP servers?

Run the sync-dev-guide operation to refresh GeneralDevGuide by parsing SKILL.md frontmatter and rebuilding the Skills, Agents, and MCP Servers tables from your live repository directories.

Why does my GeneralDevGuide have outdated skills and MCP server information?

Your GeneralDevGuide is outdated because documentation drifts from implementation after adding or removing files. Run a guide refresh to parse current on-disk inventory and rebuild the tables.

Can I automatically update development documentation after adding new agents?

Yes, you can automatically update development documentation after adding new agents by triggering a sync operation that discovers files in .cursor/agents/ and reconstructs the guide tables.

How does parsing SKILL.md frontmatter rebuild the development guide?

Parsing SKILL.md frontmatter rebuilds the guide by extracting the name and description from each file, then using that metadata to reconstruct the Skills & Agents tables and MCP Servers table.

What directories need to exist to refresh the guide from skills and MCPs?

To refresh the guide from skills and MCPs, your repository needs .cursor/skills/ for skills, .cursor/agents/ for agents, and mcps/ for MCP server inventory to parse and synchronize.
