Run <code>agent-sdk install-skills</code> to copy every package skill into <code>~/.cursor/skills/agentkit/</code>, where Cursor discovers them by name.</li><li>Installed <code>@cursor/july</code> as a dependency? The skill ships inside the package at <code>node_modules/@cursor/july/skills/create-agent/SKILL.md</code>.</li><li>Working in the monorepo?

Use <a href="./guides/convert-automation.html">convert-automation</a> when the starting point is a Cursor Automation in the dashboard. Use <a href="./hillclimbing.html"><code>hillclimb</code></a> (<code>skills/hillclimb/SKILL.md</code>) when an existing agent works but needs better results.</p><h2 id="how-do-i-start-a-guided-scaffold" tabindex="-1">How do I start a guided scaffold? <a class="header-anchor" href="#how-do-i-start-a-guided-scaffold" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;How do I start a guided scaffold?&quot;">​</a></h2><p>Describe the outcome and any constraints you already know:</p><blockquote><p>Build a local weather agent for the playground.
