Do I need to know Astro to use a Weblisy template in Cursor?
No. Describe what you want to change and the agent edits the right files. Knowing the basics helps when you review diffs, but it is not required.

Cursor is a code editor with AI built in, based on Visual Studio Code. You open a project folder, chat with an agent, and it edits files across the project while you see each change as a diff you can accept or reject.
That review step is the main reason to use Cursor with Weblisy: templates and prompts produce a lot of code, and you can check each edit before it lands in your project.

Open the template as a folder and talk to the agent about it.
Open the folder
Unzip the template and open the folder in Cursor from the File menu. The built-in terminal lets you install dependencies and start the dev server without leaving the editor.
Set project rules
Add rules in the .cursor/rules folder, or an AGENTS.md file, with your brand, colors and constraints such as keep the existing fonts. Cursor applies them to the agent's work.
Edit with the agent
Open agent chat, reference files with @ and ask for one change at a time. Review each diff, accept what looks right and reject the rest.
Add a section from a prompt
Paste a Weblisy prompt into agent chat and point it at the page where the section belongs.
Add the section described below as a new component on the page I referenced with @ (for example @src/pages/index.astro), after the hero. Match the fonts and colors already used in this project, keep every link as a placeholder (#), and do not edit other files. [Paste the Weblisy component prompt here]
Replace the bracketed line with the prompt you copied from Weblisy.
Tips and good to know
Use rules for repeated instructions
Instead of repeating keep the fonts in every message, store it once in project rules and the agent follows it every time.
Choose a local chat for MCP
If you connect Weblisy through MCP, use a local chat: cloud agents cannot see MCP servers added on your computer.
Review before accepting
Large prompts can touch several files. Read each diff and reject anything unrelated to the section you asked for.
Use Weblisy inside Cursor
Subscribers can add Weblisy to Cursor from the MCP list in Settings, then ask the agent to search components and read their prompts and code. The MCP page has the exact steps.
Questions about Cursor
Can I use Weblisy prompts in an existing project?
Yes. Open your project, reference the page or component with @ and paste the prompt. Ask the agent to match your current styles and leave other files alone.
Should I use agent chat or Tab completion?
Use agent chat for adding sections and editing templates. Tab completion helps while you edit code by hand.
Will Cursor match the design exactly?
It aims to follow the prompt closely, but results depend on the model you choose. Compare with the Weblisy preview and ask for corrections.
