Top Code Quality & Review Skills for Cursor

The strongest code-review setup in Cursor is Anthropic's simplify skill for reuse-and-clarity passes plus Trail of Bits' security skills for the vulnerability read — two different review lenses that miss different things. Add tdd-skill if you want the review pressure applied before the code exists rather than after.

7 code review skills we have not confirmed on Cursor

Listed rather than hidden. Absence here usually means untested, not broken — check each skill page for the agents it is verified on.

A combination only gets a page here when at least 6 skills are verified on the agent — otherwise the page would be a stub pretending to be a ranking.

FAQ

Common questions

Can a review skill in Cursor see my whole diff?

It sees whatever Cursor puts in context. For a reliable review, stage the change and ask for a review of the staged diff explicitly rather than relying on the model's open-tab context — the skill supplies the review method, not the file access.

How many code review skills work with Cursor?

12 of the 19 skills catalogued in Code Quality & Review are verified working on Cursor. The remaining 7 are either untested on this agent or depend on capabilities it does not provide — they are listed below rather than hidden.

How do I install a code review skill on Cursor?

Each skill page carries the exact Cursor command. Cursor reads SKILL.md through a compatibility layer, which is why compatibility here is tested per skill rather than assumed.
