Usage

Creating a Prompt

1. Click the + icon in the Prompt Manager sidebar

2. Fill in the prompt details:

   • Title: A descriptive name for your prompt
   • Description: What the prompt does
   • Category: Organize prompts into categories
   • Tags: Comma-separated tags for filtering
   • Content: The actual prompt text
   • Variables: Optional dynamic placeholders

3. Click "Save"

Using Variables

Prompts can include variables using the {{variableName}} syntax:

Create a {{language}} function called {{functionName}} that {{description}}

When you insert this prompt, you'll be prompted to provide values for each variable.

Define variables with optional default values:

language=TypeScript
functionName=myFunction
description

Using a Prompt

Click the "Use Prompt" button (sparkle icon ✨) on any prompt to see your options:

1. Copy to Clipboard (Default - Fastest)

• Copies the prompt to your clipboard
• Paste anywhere: AI chat, terminal, email, etc.
• Perfect for using with Cursor's AI features

2. Save as Cursor Command (Team Sharing)

• Saves prompt to .cursor/commands/prompt-name.md
• Use with @prompt-name in Cursor
• Shared with your team via Git
• Options to save with or without variables

3. Insert into Editor

• Inserts at your cursor position in the active file
• Traditional snippet behavior

Right-click menu also provides quick access to all actions.

If the prompt has variables (like {{name}} or {{url}}), you'll be prompted to provide values.
