Cursor Model Selection
Overview
This skill helps you configure and select AI models in Cursor. It covers available models, task-based model selection, cost optimization strategies, and advanced configuration options to get the best results from different AI providers.
Prerequisites
- Cursor IDE with subscription or API keys
- Understanding of model capabilities
- Knowledge of task requirements
- API account (if using own keys)
Instructions
- Understand model strengths and context limits
- Choose model based on task type (speed vs quality)
- Configure default models in settings
- Use per-conversation model selection
- Set up API keys for additional models
- Monitor usage and costs
Output
- Optimal model selection per task
- Configured default models
- Cost-effective model usage
- Fallback model configuration

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".
building-neural-networks: This skill allows Claude to construct and configure neural network architectures using the neural-network-builder plugin. It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
