3. First productive flow (recommended)
Share and import assets
- Create a command or prompt file in your configured `.cursor`, `.claude`, `.vscode`, or `.ai` path.
- Use share commands to generate deeplink, CursorToys bundle, or GitHub Gist.
- Use `CursorToys: Import` (`Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+I`) to validate import on a clean location.
Run HTTP with assertions
- Create `.req` or `.request` files under your HTTP folder.
- Add `@assert()` annotations to validate response contracts and behavior.
- Run request and review inline assertion results plus response output.
4. Optional modules to enable
MCPB and productivity tools
- Install `.mcpb` packages from Command Palette and edit env vars in preview.
- Enable AI text refinement with Gemini key configuration.
- Use minify commands for files and clipboard when sharing payloads.
Remote and spending
- Configure CursorToys Remote Chat for Telegram-driven workflows.
- Use spending commands to track Auto/API usage from the status bar.
- Tune refresh and token options in `cursorToys.spending.*` settings.
Troubleshooting
Import and sharing issues
- Confirm link type matches your configured output (`deeplink`, `web`, or `custom`).
- Verify destination folders are writable and extension type is allowed.
- If URL payload is too large, share as CursorToys bundle or GitHub Gist.
HTTP and deeplink issues
- Check selected environment and unresolved variables in request files.
- Confirm `cursorToys.httpAssertionsEnabled` is active when tests do not run.
- Allow browser custom-protocol prompts for Cursor deeplinks.
