Targets

Choose where AIPM should install a skill.

A target is the AI tool you want to install into, such as Cursor or Claude. Packages list the targets they support, and you choose one with the CLI.

When automatic detection is not enough

AIPM can detect `.cursor/` and `.claude/` folders in a project. In CI, or when a project has more than one tool, pass `--target cursor` or `--target claude`.
