Skills
Updated 2026-08-28
Skills are versioned markdown (SKILL.md) that teach your coding agent how
we actually work at Abridge — how to scaffold a service, run the Watchdog suite,
triage Terraform drift, prep a standup, and more. Where MCP servers give
your agent tools, skills give it know-how.
This guide lists the recommended skills and gives you a one-line install.
Install everything
Skills live in ~/.cursor/skills/ and are auto-discovered by Cursor. Install
the shared Abridge library with:
curl -fsSL https://cloud.abridge.services/install-skills.sh | bash
Reload Cursor and your agent picks them up automatically — no config. To refresh
later, re-run with --update. See Manual setup for the full script and how
to author your own.
Recommended skills
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| scaffold-service | Generate a new content/services/<slug>/ folder for this portal |
| watchdog-holodeck-test | Run the Watchdog suite against a Holodeck preview slot |
| drift-remediation | Triage Atmos/Terraform drift and draft a plan-only PR |
| argocd-debug | Triage ArgoCD sync, health, and rendered-manifest drift |
| pr-review-buddy | Structured PR review — correctness, security, tests |
| standup-context | Aggregate GitHub/Linear/Slack into a standup update |
The installer pulls the current set from the skills repo, so the list stays in sync as new skills land.
