Skills Source and Sync

This plugin pulls in skills from the upstream planetscale/database-skills repository via the database-skills Git submodule.

• Source repo: https://github.com/planetscale/database-skills
• Submodule path: database-skills
• Tracked branch: main

Local bootstrap

Clone with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/planetscale/cursor-plugin.git

If you already cloned without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Manual one-off update

To pull the latest upstream skills into this repository:

git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --remote database-skills

Commit the resulting submodule pointer change in this repository.

Automated weekly updates

GitHub Actions runs .github/workflows/update-skills.yml weekly and also supports manual runs (workflow_dispatch).

When database-skills has new commits, the workflow opens or updates a PR that contains only:

• The database-skills submodule pointer update
• .gitmodules (if submodule metadata changed)
