Cursor Prompt Enhancer

Prompt Enhancer is a desktop app that turns a rough instruction into a structured prompt before Cursor’s agent ever reads it. Select your draft in Cursor, press one global hotkey (⌃⌥⌘P on Mac, Ctrl+Alt+P on Windows), and it’s rewritten in place — with a clear role, the relevant context, one precise task, and an explicit output format — in under four seconds.

Why it helps in Cursor

Cursor is powered by Claude and GPT models, and both follow structured prompts far more reliably than loose paragraphs. “Fix the bug” makes the agent guess. A prompt that states the role, the stack, the exact task and the expected output keeps the agent on the right files and cuts the re-prompting loop.

Prompt Enhancer’s Claude Code preset is built for exactly this: it detects language and framework, asks for the output you expect, and frames test expectations — the structure coding agents act on best.

How it works

  1. Type a rough instruction in Cursor’s chat or composer.
  2. Select it, press the hotkey.
  3. The selection becomes a structured prompt, in place — no copy-paste, no window switch.

It’s system-wide (macOS Accessibility API / Windows UI Automation), so the same hotkey also works in VS Code, your terminal, Claude.ai, Linear and Slack.

Frequently asked questions

Does Prompt Enhancer work inside Cursor? +
Yes. Prompt Enhancer is a system-wide desktop app, so it works inside Cursor's chat and composer fields like any other text field. Select your instruction, press the hotkey (⌃⌥⌘P on Mac, Ctrl+Alt+P on Windows), and the structured prompt replaces it in place.
Why structure prompts for Cursor at all? +
Cursor runs Claude and GPT models under the hood, and those models follow structured prompts far more reliably. Giving the agent a clear role, the relevant context, one precise task, and an explicit output format reduces wrong-file edits and back-and-forth re-prompting.
Is this a Cursor extension? +
No — it's a native desktop app, not an extension. That's the point: one global hotkey works in Cursor, your terminal, the browser, Notion and Slack, with no per-app plugin to install. The Claude Code preset is tuned for coding agents like Cursor.
How much does it cost? +
