Cursor Installation Guide

Prerequisites

• Cursor IDE installed
• Network access to GitHub

Installation Steps

Option 1: Agent Chat Command (Recommended)

In Cursor's Agent Chat, enter:

/add-plugin superpowers

Option 2: Plugin Marketplace Search

1. Open Cursor
2. Go to Extensions (Plugin Marketplace)
3. Search for "superpowers"
4. Click Install

Verify Installation

Start a new session and enter:

Help me plan a feature

If the AI starts asking questions instead of writing code directly, Superpowers is working.

Configuration File Locations

• Skills directory: ~/.cursor/plugins/superpowers/skills/
• Custom skills: ~/.cursor/skills/

Updating

Check for updates in the plugin marketplace, or enter in Agent Chat:

/update-plugin superpowers

Troubleshooting

AI still writes code directly after installation

Make sure you're in a new session. Use /clear or restart Cursor.

Can't find the plugin marketplace

Cursor's plugin marketplace is in the left sidebar, or use the shortcut Cmd+Shift+X (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+X (Windows/Linux).

What's the difference from Claude Code installation?

Cursor uses /add-plugin command, while Claude Code uses /plugin install. Both support marketplace search installation.
