principle-experience-first
An agent skill by cursor, from cursor/plugins. Tags: conversion, design, prioritization, product-strategy, ui-ux.
What it does
Apply when product, UX, or feature-scope tradeoffs come up. Choose user delight over implementation convenience; ship fewer polished features over more rough ones.
Install
With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:
npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill principle-experience-firstOr copy the skill folder into Claude Code's skills directory by hand (~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cursor/plugins
cp -r plugins/pstack/skills/principle-experience-first ~/.claude/skills/principle-experience-firstSafety box score
Grade A, minimal risk: 0 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-10-20. The grade rates what the skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. How the score works.
This is a documentation-only skill that gives product/UX guidance and does not ship code, run commands, or access external systems. Its only effect is to steer the agent’s prioritization toward polished user experience over implementation convenience.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 0 (none) | No scripts, shell commands, code execution, or native binaries are included; only a Markdown guidance file is present. |
| Network access | 0 (none) | The skill contains no download, upload, API-call, or remote host interaction behavior. |
| Filesystem reach | 0 (none) | It does not read, write, or delete files outside its own documentation; there are no path-manipulating instructions. |

| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | The skill does not request sudo, global installs, services, shell startup edits, or other privilege changes. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 0 (none) | It contains ordinary product-principle prose and no instructions to ignore safeguards, hide actions, or follow remote content. |
| Irreversible actions | 0 (none) | It does not send messages, deploy, publish, pay, book, or make other external-state changes. |
