Render a documentation-style Cursor Canvas that organizes architecture notes, API references, walkthroughs, and how-tos into a navigable layout with sections, tables of contents, and cross-references. Use when the user asks for a docs canvas, documentation overview, architecture walkthrough, API reference page, or wants to render structured documentation as an interactive canvas.
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
# Docs Canvas Build a canvas that presents documentation — architecture notes, API references, design docs, runbooks, or codebase walkthroughs — as an interactive, navigable surface rather than as a flat markdown file. > **Status:** placeholder. The skill structure is in place so the canvas > welcome page can surface this plugin via the marketplace query, but the > full skill body still needs to be written. Treat the steps below as a > starting outline and refine as the docs canvas pattern matures. ## Prerequisites Read `~/.cursor/skills-cursor/canvas/SKILL.md` first. It contains the generation policy, design guidance, slop rules, self-check, and file-path conventions you must follow. The full component and hook surface is declared in `~/.cursor/skills-cursor/canvas/sdk/index.d.ts` and its sibling `.d.ts` files — read them to discover exact exports and prop shapes rather than guessing. ## Gather the source material Accept any of: a directory of markdown files, a single doc URL, an inline outline, or a question to answer from the codebase. Collect headings, code blocks, diagrams, and any cross-references between documents. ## Plan the canvas layout …

How to install
mdr add cursor/plugins/docs-canvas@sha256:6b38908f9ab810c7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260415.3b1d027, 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.
