What problem does it solve? Editing Cursor/VSCode settings.json by hand is error-prone: the file location differs per OS, the JSON supports comments, and overwriting the file can silently wipe existing preferences. This Skill guides safe, targeted edits to editor settings without breaking the editor configuration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Locate and read settings.json: Finds the correct user settings path on macOS, Linux, or Windows and reads current configuration before making changes. - Guided setting updates: Maps common requests (font size, tab size, format on save, theme, auto save, minimap, word wrap) to the exact settings.json keys, preserving all unrelated settings and comments. - Scope and reload awareness: Distinguishes user settings from workspace settings, notes when a window reload is required, and clarifies commit attribution configuration for CLI versus IDE agents. - Use Case: A user says "make the font bigger and format my code on save" — the Skill reads the existing settings.json, adds editor.fontSize and editor.formatOnSave, and writes the file back with proper formatting. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to change a Cursor editor preference, such as increasing the font size or enabling format on save, and it will update your settings.json accordingly.
