Build and Deploy Agents in Cursor

Apr 2026

Quick Start

New to Trinity? Install the trinity plugin and run /trinity:start-here— a guided, resumable journey from “what is Trinity?” to your first agent running on your own instance. It sequences everything below, so you don't have to pick a starting point:

/plugin marketplace add abilityai/abilities
/plugin install trinity@abilityai
/trinity:start-here

Prefer to drive yourself? From Claude Code chat:

# Add the abilities marketplace (one-time)
/plugin marketplace add abilityai/abilities

# List available plugins
/plugin list abilityai

# Install core plugins
/plugin install create-agent@abilityai
/plugin install agent-dev@abilityai
/plugin install trinity@abilityai

Or from the terminal:

claude plugin add abilityai/abilities
claude plugin install create-agent@abilityai

Set up in the Claude Code desktop app

Prefer clicking to typing? The Claude Code desktop app (macOS and Windows) has the same marketplace built into Settings — no terminal required. It resolves to the same abilityai/abilities marketplace as the CLI. Here is the whole flow, start to finish.

Open Settings

From your account menu at the bottom-left of the sidebar, choose Settings (or press ⌘,).

Open the Plugins tab

In the Settings sidebar, under Customize, select Plugins.

Settings dialog with the Plugins tab selected under the Customize group

Add a marketplace

Click Add ▾ in the top-right of the Plugins panel and choose Add marketplace.

The Add dropdown in the Plugins panel showing Add marketplace, Upload plugin, and Create with Claude

Add from a repository

In the Add marketplace dialog, pick Add from a repository — “Sync a plugin marketplace from a GitHub repository or git URL.”

Enter the repository

In the URL field, type abilityai/abilities. If the repository list doesn't load, click Use “abilityai/abilities” to continue.

The URL field with abilityai/abilities typed in and a Use abilityai/abilities option

Sync the marketplace

Click Sync. Only add marketplaces you trust — plugins run with your permissions and are not vetted by Anthropic.

The Add marketplace dialog with abilityai/abilities filled in and a Sync button

Install the plugins

The Directory opens with the Ability.ai plugins — Create agent, Agent dev, Dev methodology, Trinity, and Utilities. Click the + on each one to install it. Its skills become available as / commands right away.

The Agent Development Workflow

Abilities supports a four-step workflow:

1. Scaffold              2. Develop                    3. Deploy                    4. Iterate
/create-agent:*          /agent-dev:create-playbook    git push → /trinity:onboard  git push → /trinity:sync
                         /agent-dev:add-memory         (or onboard in place)        /create-agent:review
                         /agent-dev:add-backlog                                     /create-agent:adjust

1.Scaffold - Use a wizard like /create-agent:prospector or /create-agent:custom to get a fully configured agent

2.Develop - Use /agent-dev:create-playbook to add capabilities, /agent-dev:add-memory for persistence

3.Deploy - Run /trinity:connect once to authenticate, push the agent's repo, then /trinity:onboard per agent - Trinity clones the repo and tracks the branch. An agent that is already deployed from a bare repo can be onboarded in place by running /trinity:onboard inside it

4.Iterate - Push changes and run /trinity:sync, which also reconciles declared schedules and plugins onto the instance. Use /create-agent:review and /create-agent:adjust to audit and improve

What Wizard-Created Agents Include

Every agent created with the wizards includes:

•CLAUDE.md - Identity and behavioral instructions

•Initial skills - 2-4 playbooks based on agent purpose

•Onboarding system - onboarding.json + /onboarding skill

•Dashboard - dashboard.yaml + /update-dashboard skill

•Trinity files - template.yaml (declaring credentials, schedules:, and plugins:), .env.example, .mcp.json.template

•Git repo - Initialized and committed
