The body is mostly efficient commands and checklists, but it carries unnecessary explanatory prose ("Both can be installed simultaneously. They use separate: Settings directories, Extension directories"), a somewhat fluffy Enterprise section, and time-sensitive version specifics ("Cursor 2.0 introduced... Parallel agents (up to 8 simultaneous)") that the rubric says should penalize conciseness unless placed in a deprecated section.

It provides concrete, copy-paste-ready commands throughout ("brew upgrade --cask cursor", "cp -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User ~/cursor-settings-backup", "while read ext; do cursor --install-extension \"$ext\"; done < extensions-backup.txt") plus specific UI paths ("Help > Check for Updates", "Cmd+Shift+P > Extensions: Install from VSIX..."), matching the fully-executable anchor.

Sequences and validation checklists exist (the 8-item Post-Upgrade Verification section, and the .cursorrules migration's "Delete .cursorrules after confirming" gate), but the batch extension-reinstall `while read` loop (used in both VS Code migration and machine transfer) has no validation/feedback that installs succeeded, and the verification checklist gives no error-recovery guidance for failing checks — the rubric caps workflow_clarity at 2 for batch operations missing feedback loops.

A references/ bundle of 7 files exists (pre-upgrade-checklist.md, vs-code-to-cursor-migration.md, etc.) but the body links to none of them; instead it duplicates that content inline (the body's Pre-Upgrade Checklist and VS Code to Cursor Migration sections overlap the reference files), so references are present but not signaled and content that should be separate is inline — the anchor-2 pattern. Not 1 because the body is sectioned (not a monolithic wall) and references are one level deep, not nested.

"Upgrade Cursor versions, migrate from VS Code, and transfer settings between machines" lists three distinct concrete actions, matching the level-3 anchor ("Lists multiple specific concrete actions"); it is not level 2 because it enumerates specific actions rather than merely naming a domain with partial actions. Voice is imperative/third-person, so no specificity penalty applies.

It states what the skill does (upgrade/migrate/transfer) and gives explicit when-guidance via "Triggers on ...", which is the equivalent of a "Use when..." clause the rubric requires to exceed level 2; it is not level 2 because the trigger guidance is explicit rather than missing or only implied.

Triggers "upgrade cursor", "update cursor", "cursor migration", "cursor new version", "vs code to cursor", and "cursor changelog" are natural phrases a user would actually say, with good coverage including the upgrade/update variation — matching the level-3 "good coverage of natural terms" anchor rather than the level-2 "some relevant keywords but missing common variations".

The Cursor-specific triggers ("upgrade cursor", "cursor migration", "vs code to cursor", "cursor changelog") carve a clear niche unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the level-3 "clear niche with distinct triggers; unlikely to conflict" anchor rather than the level-2 overlap case.
