# Cursor setup

Configure Cursor for your documentation workflow

Set up Cursor to help you write and maintain your Mintlify documentation.

## Prerequisites

* Cursor editor installed

## Setup

1. **Open your docs directory in Cursor**  
   Open the root of your documentation repository where `docs.json` is located.

2. **Install the Mintlify skill**  
   In the integrated terminal, run:

```bash theme={null}
   npx skills add https://mintlify.com/docs
   ```
   This gives Cursor Mintlify's component reference, writing standards, and workflow guidance.

3. **Customize project instructions**  
   Edit `AGENTS.md` in your project root to add project-specific terminology, style preferences, and content boundaries.

4. **Start writing with Cursor**  
   Open a file and use Cursor's AI features to draft and edit documentation.
