Cursor (preview)

The app-builder plugin includes a Cursor-native manifest at plugins/app-builder/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json as the pilot for Cursor distribution. Other plugins will gain Cursor support once the pattern is validated. To install locally for development:

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local/app-builder
cp -R plugins/app-builder/. ~/.cursor/plugins/local/app-builder/
# Then in Cursor: Cmd+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window

Verify the plugin loaded via Cursor Settings → Plugins (it should appear with all six App Builder skills). The skills are also visible in Settings → Rules under "Agent Decides".

For Business

Analytics

Practitioner-focused skills for Adobe's analytics products — KPI monitoring, funnel and dimension analysis, segment comparison, and stakeholder readouts. Each product has a dedicated plugin and a dedicated MCP server. Requests require IMS auth headers (Authorization, x-gw-ims-org-id, x-gw-ims-user-id); an OAuth proxy may inject these.

Adobe Analytics

AEM as a Cloud Service — Create Component

The create-component skill creates complete AEM components following Adobe best practices for AEM Cloud Service and AEM 6.5. It covers:

Component definition, dialog XML, and HTL template
Sling Model and optional child item model (multifield)
Unit tests for models and servlets
Clientlibs (component and dialog)
Optional Sling Servlet for dynamic content

See plugins/aem/cloud-service/skills/create-component/ for the skill and its reference files.

AEM as a Cloud Service — Ensure AGENTS.md (bootstrap)

The ensure-agents-md skill is a bootstrap skill that runs first, before any other work. When a customer opens their AEM Cloud Service project and asks the agent anything, this skill checks whether

AGENTS.md exists at the repo root. If missing, it:

Reads root pom.xml to resolve the project name and discover actual modules
Detects add-ons (CIF, Forms, SPA type, precompiled scripts)
Generates a tailored AGENTS.md with only the modules that exist, correct frontend variant, conditional

Dispatcher MCP section, and the right resource links

Creates CLAUDE.md (@AGENTS.md) so Claude-based tools also discover the guidance

If AGENTS.md already exists it is never overwritten.

See plugins/aem/cloud-service/skills/ensure-agents-md/ for the skill, template, and module catalog.

AEM Workflow

Workflow skills cover the full AEM Granite Workflow Engine lifecycle — from designing and implementing workflows to production debugging and incident triaging. Like Dispatcher, they are split by runtime flavor:

plugins/aem/cloud-service/skills/aem-workflow — Cloud Service variant (no JMX, Cloud Manager logs, pipeline deploy)
plugins/aem/6.5-lts/skills/aem-workflow — 6.5 LTS / AMS variant (JMX, Felix Console, direct log access)

Each flavor contains the same specialist sub-skills:

| Sub-Skill | Purpose | | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | workflow-model-design | Design workflow models, step types, OR/AND splits, variables | | workflow-development | Implement WorkflowProcess steps, ParticipantStepChooser, OSGi services | | workflow-triggering | Start workflows from UI, code, HTTP API, or Manage Publication | | workflow-launchers | Configure automatic workflow launchers on JCR events | | workflow-debugging | Debug stuck, failed, or stale workflows in production | | workflow-triaging | Classify incidents, determine log patterns, Splunk queries | | workflow-orchestrator | Full lifecycle orchestration across all sub-skills |

AEM Dispatcher

Dispatcher skills are split by runtime flavor to avoid mode auto-detection and keep installation explicit. Install only one dispatcher flavor in a workspace (cloud-service or 6.5-lts).

Current dispatcher flavors:

plugins/aem/cloud-service/skills/dispatcher
plugins/aem/6.5-lts/skills/dispatcher

Each flavor contains parallel capability groups (workflow orchestration, config authoring, technical advisory, incident response, performance tuning, and security hardening). Shared advisory logic is centralized under each flavor's dispatcher/shared/references/ to reduce duplication and drift.

AEM Replication

Replication skills for AEM 6.5 LTS cover the full content distribution lifecycle from agent configuration to troubleshooting.

Location: plugins/aem/6.5-lts/skills/aem-replication

The aem-replication skill contains four specialist sub-skills:

| Sub-Skill | Purpose | | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | configure-replication-agent | Configure replication agents for publishing, dispatcher flush, and reverse replication | | replicate-content | Activate and deactivate content using UI, workflows, and package manager | | replication-api | Use the Replication API programmatically in custom code with complete Java examples | | troubleshoot-replication | Diagnose and fix blocked queues, connectivity failures, and distribution problems |

Key features:

All skills based on official AEM 6.5 LTS documentation
Complete coverage of public Replication API (Replicator, ReplicationOptions, AgentManager, ReplicationQueue, etc.)
49 Java code examples for OSGi services, servlets, and workflow steps
12+ troubleshooting scenarios with step-by-step resolution
3,575 lines of comprehensive documentation

AEM as a Cloud Service — Rapid Development Environment (RDE) (beta)

The aem-rde skill provides expert assistance for the Adobe I/O CLI plugin @adobe/aio-cli-plugin-aem-rde — used to deploy, inspect, log-tail, snapshot, and troubleshoot AEM Rapid Development Environments via aio aem rde … commands. The skill activates only on explicit RDE references; generic AEMaaCS deployment requests are deferred to Cloud Manager skills.

| Skill | Description | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | aem-rde (beta) | Translate goals into the right aio aem rde commands (deploy, status, history, logs, inspect, snapshot, setup); diagnose RDE problems; guide setup, experimental feature flags, and CI/build-environment usage |

See plugins/aem/cloud-service/skills/aem-rde/ for the skill and its reference files (commands, configuration, deployment types, troubleshooting, workflows).

AEM as a Cloud Service — Best Practices & Migration

Under plugins/aem/cloud-service/skills/, best-practices/ is the general-purpose Cloud Service skill: pattern modules, Java baseline references (SCR→OSGi DS, resolver/logging, and related refs), and day-to-day Cloud Service alignment. Use it without loading migration for greenfield or maintainability work. migration/ (BPA/CAM orchestration) is scoped to legacy AEM → AEM as a Cloud Service (not Edge Delivery or 6.5 LTS); it delegates concrete refactors to best-practices (references/). Installing the AEM as a Cloud Service plugin (aem-cloud-service, or the plugins/aem/cloud-service path with npx skills / gh upskill) includes both; the agent should load the appropriate SKILL.md for the task. Use gh upskill / npx skills with --skill when you need a specific bundled skill (see Installation above).

Key features:

Best practices: one skill for patterns, SCR→OSGi DS, and resolver/logging — applicable to Cloud Service projects generally, not only migration
Migration: orchestration-only; pattern and transformation content lives in best-practices

App Builder

Development, customization, testing, and deployment skills for Adobe App Builder projects.

Skill chaining:

Actions path: appbuilder-project-init → appbuilder-action-scaffolder → appbuilder-testing → appbuilder-cicd-pipeline
UI path: appbuilder-project-init → appbuilder-ui-scaffolder → appbuilder-testing → appbuilder-cicd-pipeline
E2E path: appbuilder-ui-scaffolder or appbuilder-testing → appbuilder-e2e-testing → appbuilder-cicd-pipeline

| Skill | Description | | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | appbuilder-project-init | Initialize new Adobe App Builder projects and choose the right bootstrap path | | appbuilder-action-scaffolder | Scaffold, implement, deploy, and debug Adobe Runtime actions | | appbuilder-ui-scaffolder | Generate React Spectrum UI components for ExC Shell SPAs and AEM UI Extensions | | appbuilder-testing | Generate and run Jest unit, integration, and contract tests for actions and UI components | | appbuilder-e2e-testing | Playwright browser E2E tests for ExC Shell SPAs and AEM extensions | | appbuilder-cicd-pipeline | Set up CI/CD pipelines for GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and GitLab CI |

AEM as a Cloud Service — Code Assessment

code-assessment (under plugins/aem/cloud-service/skills/) detects and fixes AEM CS code-quality issues entirely against the local workspace — no external services. Name the files to fix or ask it to scan the repo; it plans, applies surgical edits (git branch or in-place), and verifies with mvn compile. Each issue type is a self-contained expert skill.

See plugins/aem/cloud-service/skills/code-assessment/SKILL.md for routing and classification. Installing the AEM as a Cloud Service plugin (aem-cloud-service) includes this skill.

Creativity & Design

| Skill | Description | | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | adobe-batch-edit-photos | Apply consistent, cohesive photo adjustments across a set of images — matched tones, presets, and cinematic looks | | adobe-design-from-template | Create flyers, posters, social posts, invitations, business cards, and other visuals from Adobe Express templates | | adobe-retouch-portraits | Bulk walk-away retouching for wedding and event portraits: auto-straighten, auto-tone, and auto-light across a folder | | adobe-edit-quick-cut | Turn a long video into a punchy sizzle or highlight reel using Adobe Quick Cut | | adobe-resize-photos-and-videos | Resize images and videos to exact pixel dimensions, aspect ratios, or named sizes (4K, HD, A4) | | adobe-create-social-variations | Produce platform-ready image and video crops for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other social platforms |
