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.
