Agent Skills are the open standard (agentskills.io) for packaging team-specific instructions that any AI coding tool can discover.
Migrating from hand-maintained Cursor rules means moving from static markdown you write once to structured, evidence-ranked intelligence your team already enforced in PR review — and (optionally) letting tooling generate the skill automatically.
Why migrate?
Cursor rules live only in Cursor's tree. Copilot wants .github/copilot-instructions.md. Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. Maintaining the same conventions in four places doesn't scale.
Agent Skills provide one portable package. See what are Agent Skills for the full picture.
