Cursor install: step 2 cp source path doesn't match where step 1 installs on macOS #15

Description

@JohnnyHagaman

Following the README's Cursor install section on macOS:
npx skills add snowflake-labs/subagent-cortex-code --copy --global
The skill is installed to ~/.agents/skills/cortex-code/ (the universal location described later in the README), NOT to ~/.cursor/skills/cortex-code/ as step 1 claims.
As a result, step 2 fails:
cp ~/.cursor/skills/cortex-code/cortex-snowflake-routing.mdc ~/.cursor/rules/
cp: /Users//.cursor/skills/cortex-code/cortex-snowflake-routing.mdc: No such file or directory

Workaround:

Copy from the universal install path instead:
cp ~/.agents/skills/cortex-code/cortex-snowflake-routing.mdc ~/.cursor/rules/
Suggested fix:
Either:
(a) update the Cursor section's cp source to ~/.agents/skills/..., or
(b) have the installer also place the skill at ~/.cursor/skills/cortex-code/ as step 1 currently claims.

Environment:

  • macOS (darwin)
  • Cursor (latest)
  • npx skills add snowflake-labs/subagent-cortex-code --copy --global
