Installation
Token Kits installs straight from GitHub after you buy. Pick your IDE, run one line — no API key required.
Before you start
- Purchase lifetime access on tokenkits.co/pricing
- Open the install dashboard (or the success page after checkout)
- Have Node.js 18+ available so
npxcan run
Pick your IDE
| IDE | Flag | File written |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor | --ide cursor | .cursor/rules/token-kit.mdc |
| Windsurf | --ide windsurf | .windsurfrules |
| Claude Code | --ide claude | .claude/rules/token-kit.md |
| GitHub Copilot | --ide copilot | .github/instructions/token-kit.instructions.md |
| Cline | --ide cline | .clinerules/token-kit.md |
| Any / AGENTS.md | --ide agents | AGENTS.md |
| Zed | --ide zed | .rules/token-kit.md |
| Aider | --ide aider | CONVENTIONS.md |
Same pack — written to the path each editor actually reads.
One line
From your project root:
npx github:mattmerrick/cursorthings --ide cursor
Swap the flag for your editor:
npx github:mattmerrick/cursorthings --ide windsurf
npx github:mattmerrick/cursorthings --ide claude
npx github:mattmerrick/cursorthings --ide copilot
Verify it landed
- Open the file listed for your IDE (table above)
- Confirm it starts with the Token Kits header and non-negotiables
- Start a normal coding task — the agent should keep context packs small and avoid folder dumps
Optional metadata file: .cursor/tokenkits.json may be written to record the install.
