How to Migrate from Cursor Rules to Agent Skills

Agent Skills are the open standard (agentskills.io) for packaging team-specific instructions that any AI coding tool can discover. Migrating from hand-maintained Cursor rules means moving from static markdown you write once to structured, evidence-ranked intelligence your team already enforced in PR review — and (optionally) letting tooling generate the skill automatically.
