Build a demo bootstrap skill

Learn how to use cursor and the skill creator skill to build your own skill

Automating Your Demo Workflow

In the previous module, we learned that Skills are the new modular way to manage Cursor's intelligence. For a Salesforce Solution Engineer, the most repetitive task isn't writing code—it's discovery and context setting. Every demo starts with the same questions: Who is the customer? What are we selling? What is the specific 'wow' moment we need to build? By creating a Demo Bootstrap Skill, we turn this manual research phase into an agentic workflow.

The Demo Bootstrap Skill acts as your digital apprentice. When activated, it doesn't just wait for instructions; it proactively creates a demo-context directory in your project root to act as a 'Source of Truth'. This ensures that as you move from building fields to writing Apex or LWC components later, Cursor always has a reference point for the business requirements, preventing the 'hallucination' of irrelevant business logic.

This module focuses on the orchestration of skills. You will use the Skill Creator to define a skill that calls upon the Brainstorming Skill. This 'Skill-to-Skill' communication is a hallmark of advanced Agentic Engineering, allowing you to build complex, multi-step automations that handle the administrative overhead of demo prep so you can focus on the technical storytelling.
