Plugins
/docs/plugins and /docs/reference/plugins: Agent Plugins still load in Cursor; docs now state Cursor does not expand the Agent Plugins standard’s variables in mcp.json—use ${CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT} for the plugin root (expanded in command, args, env, and cwd).
/docs/plugins: Local plugin symlinks under ~/.cursor/plugins/local only load when the target is a directory inside that folder; links to repositories elsewhere on disk are skipped.
/docs/reference/plugins: Marketplace manifest limit updated—the whole marketplace.json must be 10 MB or smaller (replacing the previous max 500 plugin entries note).
Rules & skills
/docs/rules: Direct “remote rules from GitHub” import is removed. Bring rules in by packaging them in a plugin (repo needs .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json), publishing via a marketplace, then installing the plugin.
/docs/skills: Same change for skills—no standalone GitHub install; package and publish as a plugin through a marketplace, then install.
