Overview

The Component Search skill is designed to search across various components in the cursor-handbook, including rules, agents, commands, and skills, for a specific term or topic. It is triggered when a user asks to find a component, search for a keyword, or locate where something is defined. The skill uses a script, `search-components.sh`, which performs a case-insensitive grep search through the relevant directories. The results are then grouped by component type and presented in a table format, including file paths and brief descriptions. The skill also suggests next steps, such as reading the most relevant files or proposing related search terms. It is particularly useful for users who need to locate specific information within a large handbook.

Q&A

What happens if no matches are found?

It will suggest alternative or broader search terms, check spelling, or recommend creating a new component if nothing exists for the topic.

Asked by Aisha Khan · Dec 23, 2025

Can it handle very broad search terms?

Yes, but broad queries may return large result sets. The tool suggests narrowing the term or using more specific keywords to reduce output.

Asked by Wanjiru Kamau · Nov 24, 2025

What prerequisites are needed to use this skill?

The project must contain a .cursor/ directory and the system must have the grep command available, which is standard on macOS and Linux.

How does Component Search locate items in the cursor handbook?

It runs a case‑insensitive grep across the .cursor/rules/, .cursor/agents/, .cursor/commands/, and .cursor/skills/ directories, grouping matches by component type and showing file paths with brief descriptions.
