Quickstart

Start capturing and reviewing prompts in under 5 minutes

This guide gets you from zero to capturing and reviewing AI prompts in your first project. Once the watcher is running, every conversation you have with Cursor or Claude Code is organized and ready for your team to review.

Prerequisites

  • –Node.js 20+ installed
  • –A PCR.dev account (sign up at pcr.dev)
  • –Cursor or Claude Code installed

Steps

1

Install the CLI

Install pcr-dev globally from npm.

npm install -g pcr-dev
2

Log in

Authenticate with your PCR.dev account. This opens your browser to the Settings page where you can create a CLI token.

pcr login
3

Initialize your project

Navigate to your project directory and register it.

cd ~/your-project
pcr init
4

Start the watcher

Run the watcher. It will capture prompts from all registered projects in the background.

pcr start
5

Create a prompt bundle

After working, run pcr bundle to see your captured drafts, then bundle them for review.

pcr bundle                           # see all drafts
pcr bundle "my first feature" --select all   # bundle them
pcr push                             # push to PCR.dev
6

Open the dashboard

Visit your PCR.dev dashboard. Your project will appear with your prompt bundles ready for review.

✦

Keep pcr start running in a background terminal tab while you code. Prompts accumulate as drafts automatically — bundle and push when you're ready for review.

Next steps

  • –Org workspaces: run pcr init at the top level of a multi-repo directory to register all repos at once
  • –Team sharing: teammates run pcr init in the same repo — they join automatically via git remote URL
  • –MCP integration: add pcr mcp to your Cursor or Claude Code MCP config for richer metadata
