I've been using Cursor for some non-coding tasks and it worked perfectly.
The problem is that the VS Code IDE is designed for coding, and I needed a better interface for those non-coding tasks.
Then I built a few extensions to add the cutom layer:
1.CSV Viewer for data analytics, renders csv files as an editable spreadsheet
2.Slide Maker, renders .md file as slides, and can be created and edited through the Cursor agent.
3.I18n Manager, loads multiple translation files in a single table side by side while Cursor updates the translation through the agent.
To make this work for everyone, I open sourced the core component as a toolkit, which can be used to vibe code your custom extension. It comes with a mega prompt template, by adding your requirement, you can get a fully working extension with just one prompt.
I did this partially as an experiment to see whether software distribution in the AI age can have the user contribute to the last mile with the help of vibe coding.
