init-context
Analyze the codebase and generate context rules for Cursor. Use when setting up or populating .cursor/rules/ files.
Best use case
init-context is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Analyze the codebase and generate context rules for Cursor. Use when setting up or populating .cursor/rules/ files.
Teams using init-context should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Cursor Code Discovery - Automated Workflow You are tasked with analyzing this codebase and completing Cursor rules files. ## Inputs 1. Target directory (optional) - A particular directory within the codebase to focus on. If not provided, analyze the entire codebase. ## Steps 1. Analyze the Codebase (or Directory) - Examine the codebase and gather information. 2. Populate Instruction Files - Use the existing files in `.cursor/rules/`. 3. Update Glob Patterns - If a target directory is provided, adjust the `alwaysApply: true` glob patterns accordingly. 4. Review Created Files - Confirm everything is accurate (make sure everything mentioned actually exists in the codebase). 5. Validate Formatting - Ensure proper formatting is followed based on the Guidelines below. ## Key Analysis Areas 1. **Overview**: Business domain, key concepts, primary user types, integration points, key business workflows 2. **Architecture & Patterns**: Folder structure, module boundaries, layer dependencies, communication patterns, external service integrations 3. **Stack Best Practices**: Language-specific idioms, framework patterns, dependency injection patterns, error handling and validation patterns 4. **Anti-Patterns**: Logging of sensitive data, hardcoded secrets, non-parameterized SQL queries 5. **Data Models**: Core domain entities and relationships, key value objects and DTOs, data validation rules, database migration patterns 6. **Security & Configuration**: Environment variable management, secrets handling (1Password, vaults, etc.), authentication/authorization flow, API security patterns, compliance requirements 7. **Commands & Scripts**: Build scripts, deployment scripts, database migration commands, custom CLI tools ## Guidelines - Each file MUST be **40 lines or fewer** (including frontmatter) - Use bullet points and concise language - Preserve critical technical details - Include specific examples from THIS codebase - Adjust glob patterns as needed if a target directory is provided - Content should be specific to this repository, not generic advice

contextui
Build, run, and publish visual workflows on ContextUI — a local-first desktop platform for AI agents. Create React TSX workflows (dashboards, tools, apps, visualizations), manage local Python backend servers, test workflows via scoped UI automation within the ContextUI app window, and optionally publish to the ContextUI Exchange. All tools operate locally on the user's machine under standard OS permissions — no remote execution or privilege escalation. Python backends bind to localhost. See SECURITY.md for the full capability scope and trust model. Requires ContextUI installed locally and MCP server configured.
