Quick Start Guide
Get up and running with LynxPrompt in under 5 minutes. This guide will walk you through creating your first AI IDE configuration.
Prerequisites
- A code editor that supports AI config files (Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, etc.)
- A project you want to configure AI assistance for
- Optional: A LynxPrompt account (for saving preferences)
Step by Step
Choose Your Starting Point
You have two options to create a configuration:
Option A: Use the Wizard
Answer questions about your project for a custom-generated config. Best for new projects.

The wizard will ask you about:
- Project Info: Name, description, type
- Tech Stack: Languages, frameworks, tools
- AI Platforms: Which IDEs/tools you use
- Advanced options: CI/CD, testing preferences (available to all)
Tip: You can skip optional sections and come back to them later. Your progress is saved automatically.
Preview & Download
After completing the wizard or selecting a blueprint:
- Preview each generated file
- Copy individual files to clipboard
- Download all files as a ZIP archive
Files are generated for all selected platforms (e.g., .cursor/rules, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md).
Add to Your Project
Place the configuration files in your project root:
your-project/
├── .cursor/
│ └── rules # Cursor IDE rules
├── AGENTS.md # Universal AI agent config
├── CLAUDE.md # Claude Code instructions
└── .github/
└── copilot-instructions.mdYour AI coding assistant will automatically detect and use these files to provide better, context-aware suggestions.
