"I installed Cursor. But can one person really ship a whole project?"
"30 days of solo development! I used the AI workhorse Cursor to complete a large project. As an indie developer, I used to think one person taking on a big project was impossible. With it I shipped an entire system in 30 days — frontend to backend, prototype to deployment"

Install deep-skill-finder once and let Cursor find Skills on its own
Every stage of the solo journey (project bootstrap, full-stack development, deployment) has matching Skills on Meyo. But you don't have to hunt them down one by one — after installing deep-skill-finder, Cursor automatically searches Meyo's 50,000+ Skill library whenever it gets a task and recommends the method that fits. Just say what you want built; leave Skill matching to the agent.
Copy the command → paste it to Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / WorkBuddy · The agent installs it automatically:
Install the deep-skill-finder skill: download the skill package from https://www.meyo.life/skill-finder, unzip it into your local skills directory and enable it.

FAQ
Q: After I install deep-skill-finder, will Cursor's automatic Skill search interrupt me?
A: No. Cursor only searches deep-skill-finder for Skills when you give it an explicit task, and it asks you to confirm before installing anything — it never acts on its own. Casual chat or copywriting won't trigger it.
Q: Are these 3 Skill sets free? Do they cost extra Cursor quota?
A: All 6 Skills across the 3 sets are free and open source. Skills themselves consume no quota; only when Cursor executes a Skill does it count against your usual API usage. It actually saves tokens compared with hand-written prompts, because the instruction structure is already optimized inside the Skill.
Q: I don't use Cursor — I use Claude Code or Codex. Can I still install these Skills?
A: Yes. These Skills are agent-agnostic and work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and WorkBuddy. Installation is identical — download the package from meyo.life/skills and unzip it into your agent's Skill directory.
Q: Cursor can't find the Skill after I install it. What should I do?
A: 90% of the time it's a wrong directory path (it varies across Cursor versions). The easiest fix: with deep-skill-finder installed, tell Cursor to diagnose your skill directory and it will troubleshoot and suggest fixes by itself.
Q: Can one person really go from zero to production in 30 days?
A: Yes — plenty of indie developers have already run this path. The key is to set up Skills for each stage — bootstrap → full-stack development → deployment — so Cursor uses the right method at each step, instead of one person grinding through the whole pipeline alone.
Q: I'd rather not install deep-skill-finder. Can I just manually install a single Skill?
A: Absolutely. Every Skill card above has a copy-command button — copy it and paste it to your agent to install. deep-skill-finder simply lets Cursor find Skills on its own going forward; it's not a prerequisite.
