Cursor AI Deep Dive: Rules, Skills, Hooks, MCP, and Plugins Explained

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Cursor AI is more than a code editor; it's a development assistant that automates tasks and integrates with external tools. Key features include Rules for permanent instructions, Skills for reusable workflows, Hooks for automatic actions, Plugins for extended capabilities, and MCP for external tool communication.
