## Skills Overview
Eight skills covering the full research-to-submission pipeline.
| Skill |Agent that generates comprehensive documentation, API references, architecture diagrams, and developer onboarding guides from existing code.
Agent configuration for systematic bug investigation that traces issues from error logs through the codebase to root cause with suggested fixes.
Agent for integrating third-party APIs including SDK setup, type generation, error handling, retry logic, and rate limit management.
Cursor's built-in autonomous coding agent that can make multi-file edits, run terminal commands, search the codebase, and iteratively build features with minimal human intervention.
Cloud-based autonomous coding agent that runs in the background on remote sandboxed environments, handling complex multi-step tasks while you continue working.
Cursor's multi-file editing agent within Composer mode that can create, edit, and delete files across your entire project in a single conversation.
