# Use Cursor with ECP

> Configure Cursor and the ECP docs skill to accelerate Execution Control Protocol development.

Set up Cursor to help you work on ECP (Execution Control Protocol): manifests, examples, and CLI usage.

## Prerequisites

* Cursor editor installed
* Local clone of the ECP repo

## Setup

1. Open the ECP repository in Cursor.
2. Install the ECP documentation skill so your agent understands the public docs:

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g skills
skills add https://executioncontrolprotocol.io
```

3. Use Cursor’s AI features to:

* Edit and review Context manifests (for example `spec.yaml` and files under `examples/`).
* Draft and refine ECP-related documentation that lives in this repo.
* Generate or adjust `ecp run` and `ecp validate` commands for different providers and inputs; when parameters are unclear, prefer `ecp --help` and `ecp run --help` (and the same for other subcommands).

## Next steps

* [Quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart) — run your first ECP Context
* [CLI reference](/reference/cli) — `ecp run`, `ecp validate`, and `ecp trace`
