Usage

The CLI tool mirrors the web platform and works against any LynxPrompt instance. By default it connects to lynxprompt.com, but you can point it to any self-hosted deployment.

# Install
npm install -g lynxprompt

# (Optional) Point to a self-hosted instance — two ways:
lynxp config set-url https://lynxprompt.your-company.com
# or: export LYNXPROMPT_API_URL=https://lynxprompt.your-company.com

# Authenticate (opens browser on the configured instance)
lynxp login

# Generate AI config files interactively
lynxp wizard

# Pull a blueprint
lynxp pull bp_abc123

# Push local configs
lynxp push

# View current CLI configuration
lynxp config

The API URL is stored in the CLI config file (see lynxp config path). The LYNXPROMPT_API_URL environment variable takes precedence if set.

Also available via Homebrew (brew install GeiserX/lynxprompt/lynxprompt) and Chocolatey (choco install lynxprompt).

VS Code extension

Prefer managing configs without leaving the editor? LynxPrompt also has an official VS Code extension.

Marketplace lynxprompt-vscode source

From inside VS Code you can:

  • Browse your cloud blueprints and local AI config files in a dedicated sidebar
  • Pull AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/, and more into the correct workspace paths
  • Diff local files against their cloud versions with the built-in editor
  • Push updates back to LynxPrompt without leaving VS Code

Install it from the Marketplace or run ext install LynxPrompt.lynxprompt.
