10 devops skills we have not confirmed on Cursor

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

Is it safe to let Cursor run Terraform through a skill?

Treat plan and apply differently. A skill that writes and reviews HCL is low-risk; one that runs apply against a live account is not, and should never hold long-lived credentials. Keep apply behind a human step or a CI job with scoped credentials, and use the skill for authoring and plan review.

How many devops skills work with Cursor?

9 of the 19 skills catalogued in DevOps & Infrastructure are verified working on Cursor. The remaining 10 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 devops 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.
