Summary

  • Cursor now loads project skills from .agents/skills/ natively, so the .cursor/skills/ mirrors were redundant and could double-register the same skill.
  • codemap agents init --targets cursor now wires rules only. Skills stay in the consumer's .agents/skills/.
  • Adds always-on unslop for cutting AI tells from writing.
  • Patch changeset for the init behavior change.

Test plan

  • Open Customize → Skills and confirm each project skill appears once (from .agents/skills/, not duplicated)
  • Confirm Customize → Rules still lists project rules
  • codemap agents init --force --targets cursor --link-mode symlink creates .cursor/rules/*.mdc and does not create .cursor/skills/
  • Same with --link-mode copy
  • Consumer skills still load from the copied .agents/skills/ tree

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the Unslop writing-quality skill for identifying and improving AI-generated writing patterns.
    • Cursor now loads skills directly from the native skills directory while continuing to map rules separately.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup, governance, and authoring guidance to reflect the streamlined Cursor integration and new skill.
  • Chores

    • Removed redundant Cursor skill links and updated integration checks accordingly.

Drop redundant .cursor/skills mirrors, stop agents init from copying them, and add always-on unslop.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cursor initialization now synchronizes only rule symlinks. Cursor loads skills directly from .agents/skills/. The repository adds the unslop skill and rule, updates governance documentation, removes Cursor skill links, and adds tests and release metadata.

Changes

Cursor-native skills and unslop

Layer / File(s) Summary
Governance and unslop definitions
.agents/README.md, .agents/rules/*, .agents/skills/*, AGENTS.md
The layout guidance now separates .cursor/rules/*.mdc symlinks from native .agents/skills/ content. The new unslop rule and skill define AI-pattern detection and rewriting guidance.
Cursor initialization flow
src/agents-init.ts, src/agents-init-interactive.ts, src/agents-init.test.ts, .cursor/rules/unslop.mdc, .cursor/skills/*
Cursor initialization now synchronizes rules only. Tests verify that .cursor/skills is absent and skills remain under .agents/skills/. Existing Cursor skill links are removed.
Documentation and release alignment
.github/CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/agents.md, .changeset/cursor-native-skills.md
Setup and integration documentation describe native Cursor skill loading. A patch changeset records the initialization change.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9802b

Cursor initialization now avoids creating new skill mirrors, but existing projects may retain .cursor/skills copies and continue showing duplicate skills until those legacy entries are removed; this is a bounded migration risk requiring explicit owner follow-up.

533-562: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove legacy .cursor/skills/ entries during migration. runAgentsInit only reconciles .cursor/rules, so existing Codemap-managed skill mirrors remain. Remove those mirrors without affecting user-owned entries, and add a regression test.

- Around line 53-55: Update the earlier Cursor --force and --interactive option
descriptions to say that Cursor synchronizes bundled rule paths only, removing
references to mirroring .agents/skills/codemap/SKILL.md. Keep the terminology
consistent with the Cursor integration table and leave descriptions for other
integrations unchanged.

In `@src/agents-init.ts`:
- Around line 435-440: Document the exported applyAgentsInitTargets API to state
that Cursor synchronization provides .cursor/rules/*.mdc entries and loads
skills from .agents/skills/. Keep the documentation concise and place it with
the API declaration.
