## What origin-apps does, in the publisher's words

Two skills for building on Cursor Origin, Cursor's code forge. They cover creating an Origin App, calling the API, receiving webhooks, and moving an existing GitHub App over. The plugin is skills only, so it runs in Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and any agent that reads Agent Skills.

origin-api sends the agent to the section of the Origin docs that answers its question and lists the rules to check first: native versus mirrored repositories, event subscriptions, webhook verification, scopes from the spec, opaque tokens and IDs. Use it for any Origin work.

port-github-app-to-origin plans the move of an existing GitHub App. Run it inside the app's repository.

Reads the app's needs out of its code, maps them onto the live Origin spec, and writes a porting brief with feedback for Cursor. Plan…
