Fix in Cursor

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Fix in Cursor is a Chrome browser extension that integrates GitHub pull request (PR) reviews with Cursor, an AI-powered code editor. It technically operates as a context-bridging tool for developers.
2. Core Value Proposition: It eliminates manual copy-pasting by enabling one-click transfer of GitHub PR feedback (including code snippets and comments) directly into Cursor, accelerating code fixes and reducing context-switching friction for developers.

Main Features

1. One-Click Context Transfer:

   • How it works: The extension injects a "Fix in Cursor" button into every GitHub PR comment. When clicked, it auto-generates a Cursor-ready prompt containing:
     • The exact comment text.
     • Surrounding code lines (e.g., referenced file paths like src/utils/hello-world.ts and line numbers).
     • Conversation metadata (e.g., contributor tags, timestamps).
   • Technology: Uses Chrome’s content scripts to parse GitHub DOM elements, extracts code context via GitHub’s API, and formats data into Cursor’s deep-linking URL structure.

2. Public/Private Repository Optimization:

   • How it works: Free for public repositories with unlimited usage. For private repos, a $3.99 lifetime license activates after a 3-day trial. License authentication occurs via magic links (no accounts).
   • Technology: Employs cryptographic token-based verification tied to the user’s device, with secure license restoration via email.

3. Zero-Configuration Installation:

   • How it works: Installs via Chrome Web Store. No setup, API keys, or GitHub permissions required. Auto-detects GitHub PR pages to inject buttons dynamically.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Manual context transfer between GitHub reviews and IDEs disrupts workflow, causing errors (e.g., mis-copied code snippets) and productivity loss.
2. Target Audience:
   • Developers using Cursor for AI-assisted coding.
   • Open-source maintainers (public repo focus).
   • Enterprise teams handling private repositories.
3. Use Cases:
   • Fixing naming convention feedback (e.g., converting hello_message to camelCase).
   • Addressing security/performance comments in referenced code blocks.
   • Rapid iteration during PR reviews without tab-switching.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation vs. Manual Methods: Unlike copying comments manually, Fix in Cursor preserves code line numbers, file paths, and reviewer tags—ensuring accurate context for AI fixes. Competitors lack Cursor-specific deep linking.
2. Key Innovation: Automated prompt engineering. The extension structures raw GitHub comments into actionable Cursor prompts (e.g., "Verify this issue exists and fix it: [context]"), optimizing AI code-generation accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is Fix in Cursor free for private GitHub repositories?
   Fix in Cursor offers a 3-day free trial for private repositories, followed by a one-time $3.99 lifetime license—no subscriptions. Public repos are free indefinitely.
2. How does Fix in Cursor integrate with GitHub and Cursor?
   The Chrome extension adds a button to GitHub PR comments; clicking it opens Cursor with a pre-filled prompt containing the comment, code context, and metadata—no manual copying.
3. Does Fix in Cursor require a Cursor subscription?
   No. Fix in Cursor is unaffiliated with Cursor and works with Cursor’s free or paid tiers. You only pay for private repo access to the extension.
4. Can I use Fix in Cursor on multiple devices?
   Yes. License restoration via magic link reactivates the tool on new devices instantly.
5. What data does Fix in Cursor access?
   It reads only public GitHub page content (comments/code) when you activate the button. No servers store your code or PR data.
