Overview

Quick Access shines brightest when paired with AI development tools. Whether you’re building with Cursor, designing in Lovable, or prompting Claude, Quick Access gives you instant access to your best prompts and code snippets-right when you need them. This guide shows you how to supercharge your AI workflow by combining Quick Access with popular AI tools.

Why This Matters

AI tools are powerful, but they require good prompts. Quick Access ensures:
  • Consistency: Use your best prompts every time, not recreate them from memory
  • Speed: Insert complex prompts in seconds instead of minutes
  • Iteration: Build a library of refined prompts that improve over time
  • Team Alignment: Share proven prompts with your team through workspaces

Quick Access + Lovable

Lovable is an AI website builder that turns prompts into production-ready websites. Quick Access makes it effortless to use your best prompts.

How to Use with Lovable

1. Open Lovable’s Prompt Box

Navigate to Lovable and click into the prompt input field where you describe what you want to build.

2. Trigger Quick Access

Press Option + Space (Mac) or Ctrl + Space (Windows/Linux) while your cursor is in the prompt box.

3. Find Your Prompt

Search for your saved Lovable prompts:
  • Type “lovable landing page”
  • Or search by tag: “web-design”
  • Or browse your Lovable folder

4. Insert and Build

Press Enter to insert the prompt. Your detailed, tested prompt is now in Lovable’s input, ready to generate your website.

Example Lovable Prompts to Save

Landing Page Template
Create a modern SaaS landing page with:

- Hero section with gradient background
- Features section (3 columns)
- Pricing table (3 tiers)
- FAQ accordion
- CTA buttons with hover effects
- Mobile responsive
- Dark mode support
  Use Tailwind CSS and clean, professional design.
Dashboard UI
Build an analytics dashboard with:

- Sidebar navigation
- Top metrics cards showing KPIs
- Line charts for trends
- Data table with sorting/filtering
- Export functionality
- Real-time data updates
  Modern, glassmorphism design style.
Save these in Quick Access, and you’ll never write them from scratch again.

Quick Access + Cursor

Cursor is the AI-first code editor. Quick Access integrates seamlessly to give you instant access to code snippets and prompting templates.

How to Use with Cursor

1. Open Cursor AI Chat

Open Cursor’s AI chat panel (Cmd/Ctrl + L) or inline prompt (Cmd/Ctrl + P).

2. Trigger Quick Access

With your cursor in the prompt field, press Option/Ctrl + Space.

3. Insert Your Prompt

Search for code generation prompts, debugging templates, or refactoring instructions.

4. Let Cursor Generate

Your prompt is inserted, and Cursor’s AI generates code based on your saved, tested instructions.

Example Cursor Prompts to Save

Code Review Prompt
Review this code for:

1. Security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, etc.)
2. Performance bottlenecks
3. Code smells and anti-patterns
4. Missing error handling
5. Unclear variable names

Provide specific suggestions with code examples.
Refactoring Prompt
// Refactor this to:
// - Extract reusable functions
// - Add proper TypeScript types
// - Implement error handling
// - Add JSDoc comments
// - Follow clean code principles
Test Generation
Generate unit tests for this function:
- Test happy path scenarios
- Test edge cases and boundaries
- Test error conditions
- Use Jest and TypeScript
- Aim for 100% coverage

Quick Access + ChatGPT / Claude

Use Quick Access with web-based AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.

How to Use

  1. Open ChatGPT or Claude in your browser
  2. Click into the message input field
  3. Press Option/Ctrl + Space to open Quick Access
  4. Search and insert your prompt

Workflow Example

Multi-Step Prompt Engineering Save each step as a separate snippet:
  1. Context Setup
You are an expert backend engineer specializing in Node.js and PostgreSQL.
I'm building a REST API for an e-commerce platform.
  1. Task Definition
Design a database schema for:

- Users and authentication
- Products and inventory
- Orders and payments
- Reviews and ratings
  Include relationships, indexes, and constraints.
  1. Output Format
Provide:

1. SQL CREATE TABLE statements
2. ER diagram description
3. Index recommendations
4. Sample queries for common operations
Insert each snippet in sequence to build complex, structured prompts.

Quick Access + VS Code

While Cursor is AI-native, VS Code with GitHub Copilot or other extensions also benefits from Quick Access.

Use Cases

Copilot Comments
// Create a React component that:
// - Accepts a list of items as props
// - Implements virtual scrolling for performance
// - Includes search and filter functionality
// - Has keyboard navigation support
Code Templates
// Express.js API route template
import { Router, Request, Response } from 'express';

const router = Router();

router.get('/endpoint', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
	try {
		// Implementation
		res.json({ success: true });
	} catch (error) {
		res.status(500).json({ error: error.message });
	}
});

export default router;

Quick Access + Other AI Tools

Quick Access works with any application:

Notion AI

  • Open Notion → Quick Access → Insert writing prompts
  • Use for documentation templates, meeting notes, project briefs

Slack

  • Quick Access your common responses
  • Insert formatted messages and announcements
  • Use emoji reactions and formatting

Email Clients

  • Gmail, Outlook, Superhuman
  • Insert email templates, follow-ups, cold outreach

Terminal

  • Quick Access bash scripts and commands
  • Insert Docker commands, Git workflows, deployment scripts

Building Your AI Toolkit

Here’s how to organize your Quick Access library for AI tools:

Folder Structure

📁 AI Prompts
  📁 Cursor
    - Code Review Template
    - Refactoring Prompt
    - Test Generation
  📁 Lovable
    - Landing Page
    - Dashboard
    - Form Components
  📁 ChatGPT
    - System Prompts
    - Chain-of-Thought
    - Task Templates
  📁 Claude
    - Analysis Prompts
    - Writing Assistance
    - Code Explanation

Tagging Strategy

Use tags for cross-tool discovery:
  • #prompt-engineering
  • #code-generation
  • #frontend / #backend
  • #debugging
  • #documentation

Best Practices

Test and Refine: When a prompt works well, save it immediately to Quick Access. Refine it over time as you learn what works.
Version Your Prompts: Use Snippets AI’s version control to track prompt iterations. See what changes improved results.
Share with Team: Export your best prompts to your team workspace so everyone benefits from proven templates.
Tool-Specific Snippets: Tag snippets by tool (e.g., #cursor, #lovable) so you can filter quickly when searching.

Advanced Workflow

Prompt Chains

Build multi-step AI workflows:
  1. Step 1: Context setup snippet
  2. Step 2: Task definition snippet
  3. Step 3: Output format snippet
  4. Step 4: Refinement instructions snippet
Insert each via Quick Access in sequence for complex tasks.

Dynamic Placeholders

Save snippets with placeholders:
Create a {COMPONENT_TYPE} component for {PROJECT_NAME} that handles {FUNCTIONALITY}.
Requirements:

- {REQUIREMENT_1}
- {REQUIREMENT_2}
Insert via Quick Access, then fill in placeholders manually.
