Modify Cursor/VSCode user settings in settings.json. Use when user wants to change editor settings, preferences, themes, font size, tab size, keybindings, or mentions "settings", "preferences", "theme", "font", "format on save", "auto save", or "cursor config".
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.

# Updating Cursor Settings This skill guides you through modifying Cursor/VSCode user settings. Use this when the user wants to change editor settings, preferences, configuration, themes, keybindings, or any `settings.json` values. ## Check existing first **Before modifying settings, check:** 1. **Read current settings:** ```bash cat ~/.config/Cursor/User/settings.json 2>/dev/null | head -50 # Linux cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/settings.json 2>/dev/null | head -50 # macOS ``` 2. **Check for workspace settings:** ```bash cat .vscode/settings.json 2>/dev/null ``` 3. **Understand current state:** - What's the current value of the setting? - Are there conflicting workspace settings? **Why:** Preserve existing settings.

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/cursor-kenji/update-cursor-settings@sha256:1190373b6718d9f7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cf348bd, 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.
