Card #2849 · Cursor (AI IDE)
Parity gap between IDE and CLI for skill registration and loading
The Cursor CLI does not consistently load or recognize skills that are available and working in the IDE. This includes issues with specific skills like review-bugbot and a general lack of symmetry in how the CLI handles plugin-based skills compared to the IDE.
