migrate-to-skills

migrate-to-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from XyrusCode/ai-sync. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,569 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of migrate-to-skills, MIT.

A migration guide for turning Cursor rules and slash commands into Agent Skills. Cursor rules are project instructions, while slash commands are reusable written actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find eligible .mdc rule files and Markdown commands, then convert them into SKILL.md files under .cursor/skills/.
Why use it?
It helps move these instructions into the skills format without changing their original content. It also identifies files in project and user-level Cursor folders that should be migrated.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

migrate-to-skills scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Migrate Rules and Slash Commands to Skills

Convert Cursor rules ("Applied intelligently") and slash commands to Agent Skills format.

CRITICAL: Preserve the exact body content. Do not modify, reformat, or "improve" it - copy verbatim.

Locations

Level Source Destination
Project {workspaceFolder}/**/.cursor/rules/*.mdc, {workspaceFolder}/.cursor/commands/*.md
User ~/.cursor/commands/*.md

Notes:

  • Cursor rules inside the project can live in nested directories. Be thorough in your search and use glob patterns to find them.
  • Ignore anything in ~/.cursor/worktrees
  • Ignore anything in ~/.cursor/skills-cursor. This is reserved for Cursor's internal built-in skills and is managed automatically by the system.

Finding Files to Migrate

Rules: Migrate if rule has a description but NO globs and NO alwaysApply: true.

Commands: Migrate all - they're plain markdown without frontmatter.

Conversion Format

Rules: .mdc → SKILL.md

# Before: .cursor/rules/my-rule.mdc
---
description: What this rule does
globs:
alwaysApply: false
---
# Title
Body content...
# After: .cursor/skills/my-rule/SKILL.md
---
name: my-rule
description: What this rule does
---
# Title
Body content...

Changes: Add name field, remove globs/alwaysApply, keep body exactly.

Commands: .md → SKILL.md

# Before: .cursor/commands/commit.md
# Commit current work
Instructions here...
# After: .cursor/skills/commit/SKILL.md
---
name: commit
description: Commit current work with standardized message format
disable-model-invocation: true
---
# Commit current work
Instructions here...

Changes: Add frontmatter with name (from filename), description (infer from content), and disable-model-invocation: true, keep body exactly.

Note: The disable-model-invocation: true field prevents the model from automatically invoking this skill. Slash commands are designed to be explicitly triggered by the user via the / menu, not automatically suggested by the model.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
