About

This skill helps developers manage multiple repositories in Cursor IDE, triggered by phrases like "cursor multi repo" or "cursor workspace." It provides guidance for setting up multi-root workspaces, handling monorepos, and managing cross-project context. Key features include support for selective indexing and configuring workspace strategies for complex development environments.

Documentation

Cursor Multi Repo

Overview

This skill guides you through working with multiple repositories in Cursor. It covers multi-root workspaces, monorepo patterns, selective indexing strategies, and cross-project context management for complex development environments.

Prerequisites

  • Multiple repositories or monorepo structure
  • Understanding of workspace concepts
  • Cursor IDE with workspace support
  • Configured .cursorrules for each project

Instructions

  1. Decide on multi-repo strategy (separate windows, workspace, or monorepo)
  2. Create workspace file or open specific packages
  3. Configure .cursorrules inheritance (root + overrides)
  4. Set up selective indexing with .cursorignore
  5. Use full paths for @-mentions across projects
  6. Test cross-project context and queries

Output

  • Functional multi-repository workspace
  • Properly inherited .cursorrules
  • Selective indexing per project
  • Cross-project AI context awareness

Meta

This Claude Skill creates original algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameters. It generates .md files for algorithmic philosophies, plus .html and .js files for interactive generative art implementations. Use it when developers need to create flow fields, particle systems, or other computational art while avoiding copyright issues.

subagent-driven-development

Development

This skill executes implementation plans by dispatching a fresh subagent for each independent task, with code review between tasks. It enables fast iteration while maintaining quality gates through this review process. Use it when working on mostly independent tasks within the same session to ensure continuous progress with built-in quality checks.

executing-plans

Design

Use the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.

Other

This Claude Skill helps developers optimize cloud costs through resource rightsizing, tagging strategies, and spending analysis. It provides a framework for reducing cloud expenses and implementing cost governance across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use it when you need to analyze infrastructure costs, right-size resources, or meet budget constraints.
