Skills Source and Sync

This plugin pulls in skills from upstream PlanetScale repositories via Git submodules.

  • Skills path: database-skills/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 skills

Commit the resulting submodule pointer changes in this repository.

Automated weekly updates

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

When either upstream repository has new commits, the workflow opens or updates a PR that contains only:

  • The changed skills submodule pointer updates
  • .gitmodules (if submodule metadata changed)
