Better prompts for Cursor Composer, Chat & Cmd+K in one hotkey
Highlight your prompt inside Cursor. Press ⌘⇧P. PromptAI structures it with role, file context, stack constraints, and output format — in place, under a second.
Works with every Cursor surface
PromptAI operates at the OS level on the currently selected text — Cursor's input fields are no different from any other text area.
Composer
Multi-file edits. Enhanced prompts specify which files to touch, which to leave alone, and what the diff should look like.
Chat
Conversational Q&A with your codebase. Enhanced prompts add role, audience, and output format (markdown, code-only, table).
Cmd+K (inline)
Single-file inline edit. Enhanced prompts pin scope tightly — refactor what, leave what, keep what pattern.
Three real Cursor prompts, before and after
Vague prompts produce vague diffs. Enhanced prompts produce targeted, reviewable edits.
Setup takes two minutes
Download the Mac app
PromptAI Desktop is a 176 MB universal binary — Apple Silicon and Intel. macOS 12 or later.
Grant Accessibility permission
macOS asks once. PromptAI uses it to read the text you highlight and paste the enhanced version back.
Open Cursor. Try it
Type your prompt. Select it. Hit ⌘⇧P. The enhanced version replaces your text, ready to send.
Smaller diffs
Explicit scope means Cursor touches fewer files. Reviewers stop rubber-stamping 800-line PRs.
Consistent style
Role and stack constraints in every prompt. Output matches your conventions without babysitting.
Fewer iterations
One well-structured prompt replaces three back-and-forth rounds. Ship in the time you used to spend clarifying.
Frequently asked questions
What is a prompt enhancer for Cursor?+
A Cursor prompt enhancer rewrites whatever you type in Cursor's Composer, Chat, or Cmd+K into a structured prompt — adding the role, file context references, stack constraints, and an explicit output format. PromptAI's Mac desktop app adds a ⌘⇧P hotkey that enhances the selected text in place, no copy-paste required.
Does PromptAI work with Cursor Composer?+
Yes. Composer, Chat, and Cmd+K all accept text through the same OS-level input — PromptAI captures the highlighted text, enhances it, and replaces it. You write your request the way you'd write it to a colleague, hit ⌘⇧P, and a well-structured prompt appears in place. Works identically in Cursor's agent mode.
Why do enhanced prompts work better in Cursor?+
Cursor's models (Claude, GPT-4) respond dramatically better to explicit role, scope, and output format. Vague prompts produce vague diffs — enhanced prompts produce targeted, smaller diffs that pass review. The biggest wins are on multi-file edits where Cursor needs to know which files to touch and which to leave alone.
Does the hotkey conflict with Cursor's own shortcuts?+
No. ⌘⇧P is PromptAI's global hotkey — it operates at the OS level on whatever text is currently selected. Cursor's shortcuts (⌘K, ⌘L, ⌘I) stay untouched. You highlight your prompt, hit ⌘⇧P, and Cursor itself isn't affected.
Can I reference files with @ in enhanced prompts?+
Yes — PromptAI preserves @file and @docs references when it restructures. The enhanced prompt keeps your context tags and wraps them in the right scaffolding (role, task, constraints, output format). You don't lose Cursor-specific syntax.
Is PromptAI free to try with Cursor?+
Yes. Download the Mac app free at promptai360.com/download. New accounts get a 5-day trial with 1 enhancement per day, then plans start at $7.99/month for unlimited enhancements. No credit card required for the trial.
Does it work on Windows or only Mac?+
Mac only today. The Chrome extension (Windows, Mac, Linux) works inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity in the browser. The desktop app — with the ⌘⇧P hotkey for Cursor — is macOS 12+ only. Windows support is on the roadmap.
Will this train AI models on my code or prompts?+
No. PromptAI does not train on user prompts. Your code, prompts, and generated outputs are not sent to any training pipeline. See promptai360.com/privacy for the full policy.
