sync: skills update from pinecone-io/skills

[arjunpatel7]

Automated skill sync from pinecone-io/skills — run #16.

Changed files:

skills/pinecone-help/SKILL.md skills/pinecone-n8n/SKILL.md 

The contextualization workflow will run automatically on this branch to adapt these skills for this IDE. Review both the raw sync and Claude's adaptations before merging.

Contextualization commit (contextualize: adapt synced skills for Cursor plugin)

Per-file summary

• skills/pinecone-help/SKILL.md

  • Why: Restored Cursor-native setup guidance for the API key (workspace-root .env + MCP envFile), matching other skills in this plugin, instead of generic IDE/shell-only wording from the sync.
  • Added a short note that skills are invoked from Cursor Agent chat with /, with concrete examples (/pinecone-n8n, /pinecone-help, /pinecone-quickstart).
  • Clarified the MCP row to say Cursor (MCP) rather than a generic “agent/IDE”.
  • Added a footer attributing distribution to pinecone-io/pinecone-cursor-plugin.

• skills/pinecone-n8n/SKILL.md

  • Why: Dropped allowed-tools: Write from YAML frontmatter (Claude Code–style metadata, not part of this plugin’s required name / description convention).
  • Documented invocation via /pinecone-n8n in Cursor Agent chat.
  • Added the same Cursor plugin attribution footer as in pinecone-help.

Intentionally left unchanged

• All n8n workflow JSON, node type strings, parameter examples, and embedded sourceTag values (these are node/API telemetry strings, not repo attribution).
• No .py files in this PR’s scope; none were edited.
• Skill directory names were already pinecone-*; no renames or cross-reference path updates were required.
• .cursor-plugin/ and everything outside skills/ were not modified per instructions.

Submission checklist (node scripts/validate-plugin.mjs)

• Passed: plugin.json is valid JSON; plugin name is lowercase kebab-case; every skills/**/SKILL.md has name and description in frontmatter; skill name matches the parent folder; mcp.json is present; manifest path checks passed.
• Not applicable in this repo (nothing to validate): there is no rules/ tree (no .mdc rules) and no commands/ directory, so those checklist items have no files to inspect here.

Suggestions for reviewers (manual)

• Plugin marketing copy: .cursor-plugin/plugin.json description highlights /pinecone-quickstart but does not mention /pinecone-n8n; consider adding n8n if you want parity with the new skill.
• Overlap: pinecone-help now overlaps partially with README.md / plugin description for onboarding; worth a quick pass to avoid contradictory API-key or MCP setup instructions across docs (I did not change README.md).
• Redundancy: With pinecone-n8n in the catalog, reviewers may want to decide whether any future rule/command duplicates that guidance; I did not remove or add rules/commands.
