Install deep-skill-finder once, and Cursor picks its own plugins and levels itself up
Whatever capability you want to add to Cursor (efficiency, Git enhancement, performance tuning), the matching Skill plugins are on Meyo. But you don't have to pick them one by one — after you install deep-skill-finder, Cursor automatically searches Meyo's 50,000+ Skill library when it receives a task, recommends the plugins that match, and can even handle installation and configuration end to end. Just say what you want done; picking plugins is the Agent's job.
Copy the prompt → paste it to Cursor / Claude Code / Codex / WorkBuddy · the Agent will install it automatically:
Install the deep-skill-finder skill: download it from https://www.meyo.life/skill-finder, unzip it into your local skills directory and enable it.
Or browse the common scenarios below. To learn more about deep-skill-finder → meyo.life/skill

FAQ
Q: Are Cursor "plugins" and Skills the same thing?
A: Yes. The community casually calls Skills Cursor plugins or add-ons, but they are all capability packs you install for your Agent. Once installed, Cursor follows the Skill's playbook for matching tasks instead of being re-taught every time.
Q: Do I have to install all 5 must-have plugins?
A: Pick what you need. Start with cursor-local-dev-loop as your efficiency base; add dev enhancement if you work with Git; go straight to the performance-tuning combo if Cursor feels laggy. They're all free Skills — uninstall anytime.
Q: Will installing plugins slow Cursor down?
A: No. A Skill itself is a text instruction pack and uses almost no resources. Cursor lag usually comes from indexing and memory, which is exactly what performance-tuning Skills like cursor-performance-tuning fix.
Q: Are these plugin Skills free? Do they burn extra Cursor quota?
A: All free and open source. A Skill consumes nothing by itself; only when Cursor executes it do you pay your normal subscription or API usage. Compared with retyping long prompts every time, Skills actually save tokens.
Q: I don't use Cursor — can Claude Code / Codex install these plugins too?
A: Yes. These Skills are agent-neutral by design and work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and WorkBuddy. The install flow is identical — download the pack from meyo.life and unzip it into your Agent's Skill directory.
Q: Can I skip deep-skill-finder and just manually install one plugin?
A: Absolutely. Every Skill card above has a "Copy Cmd" button — copy it alone and paste it to your Agent to install. deep-skill-finder simply makes Cursor "find things on its own" going forward; it's not a prerequisite.
