About create-plugin-scaffold

create-plugin-scaffold
Create a new Cursor plugin scaffold
create-plugin-scaffold is an agent skill from Cursor's plugins collection for creating a new Cursor plugin from scratch and making it ready for local use or for marketplace submission. It creates a scaffold with a valid manifest, component directories and marketplace wiring. Before it starts, the skill asks for the required inputs: a plugin name in lowercase kebab-case, the plugin's purpose and target users, the set of components to include, and the repository style, which is either a single plugin or a multi-plugin marketplace. The components a plugin can contain are rules, skills, agents, commands, hooks and MCP server definitions, and the skill creates directories for the ones chosen. By default the scaffold is placed in the user's local plugin directory, and the skill describes where output goes for each case. The skill is used when starting a new plugin or adding a plugin to an existing marketplace repository, so the structure is correct before the content is written. It suits developers who extend Cursor with their own rules, skills or tools and want a consistent layout. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the Cursor plugins repository, and its security audits all pass. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/cursor/plugins --skill create-plugin-scaffold.
