Cursor Skill

Select and use Glean MCP tools correctly — tool selection by query type, filter syntax, and best practices for all Glean tool types. Use when choosing between Glean tools, formatting queries, or applying filters for search, code, people, meetings, or email.

Official Glean plugin for Cursor — search documents, Slack, and email; explore code across repos; and find experts and stakeholders.

code-explorationSearch internal code repositories to find implementations, patterns, and contributors across the organization. Use when asked how something is implemented in other repos, where the code for a system lives, or who has been actively working on a codebase.

code-ownersIdentify who owns, maintains, or has expertise in a specific code area or component. Use when asked who to talk to about a system, who to request a code review from, or who has been actively working in a codebase area.

codebase-contextGather architectural context about an internal system from code and documentation across the organization. Use when asked to understand a system's architecture, find its repos, or get an overview before working on it.

confidence-signalsAssess and communicate the reliability, freshness, and authority of Glean search results before presenting them. Use when presenting Glean results that may be stale, come from informal sources, or where the user should verify before acting on them.

enterprise-searchSearch company documents, wikis, policies, design docs, and internal knowledge via Glean. Use when asked about company policies, internal specs, design docs, RFCs, or any information that lives in enterprise systems rather than the local codebase.
