What is this?

The official VS Code extension for LynxPrompt — a self-hostable platform for managing AI IDE configuration files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/, copilot-instructions.md, .windsurfrules, and 30+ more formats).

This extension brings LynxPrompt directly into your editor so you can manage cloud blueprints and local config files without switching to the browser.

Install

Install from the VS Code Marketplace or run:

ext install LynxPrompt.lynxprompt

Features

Browse Blueprints and Local Files

Use the dedicated sidebar to see your LynxPrompt blueprints and the AI config files detected in the current workspace.

Pull Blueprints into the Right Paths

Download a blueprint and let the extension place it in the correct workspace location automatically.

CLAUDE.md
AGENTS.md
.cursor/rules/
.github/copilot-instructions.md
.windsurfrules

Push Local Configs Back to LynxPrompt

Right-click a supported file or use the command palette to upload local configs as blueprints.

Diff Local vs Cloud

Open the built-in VS Code diff editor to compare a local file with its linked cloud blueprint before deciding what to keep.

Generate and Convert

Open the LynxPrompt wizard in your browser to generate new configs, or convert supported config formats locally.

Watch for Drift

The extension monitors linked config files and notifies you when local files diverge from the cloud version.
