What you supply

{name}

Identifier for the command. Becomes its filename under .cursor/commands.

{text}

The command's instructions.

URL-encode it. The whole link, encoded, must stay under 8,000 characters.

This one writes a file into the reader's working tree, so it asks first. Cursor shows what the command contains and creates it only on confirmation.

Useful for onboarding: a link in a project's README can hand a new contributor the same command everyone else on the team already has, without them copying files around.
