# Cursor Skill
Use the `cursor` CLI to control the Cursor AI-powered code editor (VS Code fork).
## CLI Location
```bash
/usr/local/bin/cursor
```
## Opening Files and Folders
Open current directory:
```bash
cursor .
```
Open specific file:
```bash
cursor /path/to/file.ts
```
Open file at specific line:
```bash
cursor /path/to/file.ts:42
```
Open file at line and column:
```bash
cursor /path/to/file.ts:42:10
```
Open folder:
```bash
cursor /path/to/project
```
Open multiple files:
```bash
cursor file1.ts file2.ts file3.ts
```
## Window Options
Open in new window:
```bash
cursor -n /path/to/project
```
Open in new window (alias):
```bash
cursor --new-window /path/to/project
```
Reuse existing window:
```bash
cursor -r /path/to/file
```
Reuse existing window (alias):
```bash
cursor --reuse-window /path/to/file
```
## Diff Mode
Compare two files:
```bash
cursor -d file1.ts file2.ts
```
Diff (alias):
```bash
cursor --diff file1.ts file2.ts
```
## Wait Mode
Wait for file to close (useful in scripts):
```bash
cursor --wait /path/to/file
```
Short form:
```bash
cursor -w /path/to/file
```
Use as git editor:
```bash
git config --global core.editor "cursor --wait"
```
## Adding to Workspace
Add folder to current workspace:
```bash
cursor --add /path/to/folder
```
## Extensions
List installed extensions:
```bash
cursor --list-extensions
```
Install extension:
```bash
cursor --install-extension <extension-id>
```
Uninstall extension:
```bash
cursor --uninstall-extension <extension-id>
```
Disable all extensions:
```bash
cursor --disable-extensions
```
## Verbose and Debugging
Show version:
```bash
cursor --version
```
Show help:
```bash
cursor --help
```
Verbose output:
```bash
cursor --verbose /path/to/file
```
Open developer tools:
```bash
cursor --inspect-extensions
```
## Settings
User settings location:
```
~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/settings.json
```
Keybindings location:
```
~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/keybindings.json
```
## Portable Mode / Profiles
Specify user data directory:
```bash
cursor --user-data-dir /path/to/data
```
Specify extensions directory:
```bash
cursor --extensions-dir /path/to/extensions
```
## Piping Input
Read from stdin:
```bash
echo "console.log('hello')" | cursor -
```
## Remote Development
Cursor supports remote development similar to VS Code. SSH remotes are configured in:
```
~/.ssh/config
```
Then use command palette or remote explorer in the GUI.
