Convert 'Applied intelligently' Cursor rules (.cursor/rules/*.mdc) and slash commands (.cursor/commands/*.md) to Agent Skills format (.cursor/skills/). Use when the user wants to migrate rules or commands to skills, convert .mdc rules to SKILL.md format, or consolidate commands into the skills directory.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Migrate Rules and Slash Commands to Skills
Convert Cursor rules ("Applied intelligently") and slash commands to Agent Skills format.
Copy each body verbatim — byte for byte, whitespace and typos included. The content is the user's, and an exact copy is what makes the migration reversible.
## Locations
| Level | Source | Destination |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| Project | `{workspaceFolder}/**/.cursor/rules/*.mdc`, `{workspaceFolder}/.cursor/commands/*.md` |
| User | `~/.cursor/commands/*.md` |
Notes:
- Cursor rules inside the project can live in nested directories; glob `**/.cursor/rules/*.mdc` from the workspace root so none are missed.
- Ignore anything in ~/.cursor/worktrees
- Ignore anything in ~/.cursor/skills-cursor. This is reserved for Cursor's internal built-in skills and is managed automatically by the system.
## Finding Files to Migrate
**Rules**: Migrate if rule has a `description` but NO `globs` and NO `alwaysApply: true`.
**Commands**: Migrate all - they're plain markdown without frontmatter.
## Conversion Format
### Rules: .mdc → SKILL.md
```markdown
# Before: .cursor/rules/my-rule.mdc

description: What this rule does

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/migrate-to-skills@sha256:1f94c07624d5bc53The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
