What this skill does
Cursor Production Checklist Overview Use this gate before enabling Cursor for a production repository or team workflow. It verifies governance, context controls, review, and incident ownership—not the correctness of any generated code. Prerequisites A named repository/tenant owner, data classification, and approved privacy/model policy. Reviewed rules/ignore files, identity controls, and a rollback path for tenant configuration. Instructions 1. Complete each control with evidence: privacy setting, access model, exclusions, rules, review, tests, and support route. 2. Pilot in a representative non-sensitive repository and verify expected context boundaries. 3. Hold production enablement when any security, identity, data, or ownership gate is unverified. 4. Record the go/no-go decision and schedule periodic access/rule review. Output A production-readiness record with owner, evidence links, exceptions, and verification date. Error Handling Failed gate Required action --- --- Privacy or data routing unclear Block enablement and obtain a documented security/privacy decision.

Covers security hardening, project rules, indexing optimization, privacy settings, and team standardization. …
