I open-sourced Cursor Learn Mode, an MCP that watches you demonstrate a real Windows or macOS process and saves a Skill (intent + named inputs). Replay happens in a new chat with the desktop, browser, and terminal tools you already have — not a mouse-coordinate macro.

Repo: [https://github.com/liad07/cursor-learn-mode](https://github.com/liad07/cursor-learn-mode)

Flow:

- /learn
- Start Learning (on-screen HUD)
- Do the work
- Stop with Ctrl+Shift+L (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+L (Mac)
- Save the Skill to ~/.cursor/skills/

Secrets are redacted. The recording is not executed by Learn Mode itself.
