Quick start docs

Install CursorToys, configure your workspace, and run your first full sharing plus testing workflow in a few minutes.

1. Install

  • Install from VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX.
  • Open Command Palette and search for CursorToys commands.
  • Run the menu command to verify the extension is active.

2. Import first asset

  • Use Import from Link for deeplink, compressed bundle, or gist URL.
  • Choose personal or project location when prompted.
  • Open imported files and validate content before sharing forward.

Core configuration

Recommended settings

  • Choose preferred link type for sharing output.
  • Set allowed file extensions for command and prompt flows.
  • Define base folder strategy for commands, rules, prompts, and HTTP files.

Deeplink format

  • Base protocol: cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/...
  • Supported kinds include command, rule, skill, and prompt links.
  • Browsers may ask permission before opening custom protocols.

Troubleshooting

Import issues

  • Confirm the link includes a valid Cursor or shareable format.
  • Check if selected destination folder is writable.
  • Retry with a shorter payload if URL length is too large.

Deeplink issues

  • Allow custom protocol prompts in your browser.
  • Ensure Cursor is installed and registered for deeplink protocol handling.
  • Fallback to web links or import commands when needed.

Best practices

For teams

  • Version shared bundles by project milestone.
  • Document prompt and command intent in file headers.
  • Use project-specific folders for reproducible collaboration.

For personal workflows

  • Keep a small set of high-value commands and prompts.
  • Use tree views to clean stale assets weekly.
  • Save reusable API checks as request and assertion templates.
