GSDL Install

Creates the .cursor/rules/ files that expose each GSDL skill as a Cursor / slash command.

Steps

1. Create .cursor/rules/ in the project root if it doesn't exist.

2. Write each file below only if it does not already exist. Never overwrite existing files.

3. Confirm to the user which files were created and which were skipped (already existed).

After creating files

Tell the user:

GSDL rules installed. The following slash commands are now available in Cursor chat:

• /gsdl — full pipeline orchestrator
• /gsdl-setup-project — initialize project structure
• /gsdl-create-prd — generate a PRD
• /gsdl-create-plan — break a PRD into tasks
• /gsdl-execute-plan — implement the plan

You may need to reload Cursor for the rules to appear in the / picker.
