What problem does it solve?

This skill guides users through safely updating Cursor/VSCode user settings in settings.json, reducing manual edits and configuration drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read existing settings.json, identify the requested changes, and preserve unrelated settings.
  • Validate JSON syntax (including comments), apply updates deterministically, and handle OS-specific paths across macOS, Linux, and Windows.
  • Warn about actions that require a Cursor/VSCode restart and distinguish between user and workspace settings.

Quick Start

Set editor.fontSize to 14 and enable formatOnSave in your Cursor/User settings.json.
