# Switch Project

Use this skill when the user wants to switch to a different project, open another codebase, or move the current conversation to a different workspace root.

## How It Works

Cursor has a built-in MCP server called `cursor-app-control` with a tool called `move_agent_to_root` that changes the agent's active workspace directory. This lets you switch projects mid-conversation without opening a new window.

## Steps

1. **Ask or infer the target project** — if the user says "switch to my-app", search for it. Common project locations:
   - `~/Documents/development/`
   - `~/projects/`
   - `~/code/`
