Use Checkly with AI IDEs & Copilots

You can index our docs pages in your IDE to leverage better code generation results. To do so, follow the guides for your IDE of choice:

Make sure to index the following url:

https://checklyhq.com/docs/

• Referencing @docs with Cursor

At the time of writing this unfortunately no other IDE supports this kind of context enrichment.

Every page on our docs site is accessible as a plain markdown file by appending index.md to the url, e.g. https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/cli/constructs-reference/index.md.

There is also an /llms.txt at the root of our site which contains all the URLs of our docs pages in plain text format. You can use this file to index our docs in your AI IDE of choice.

We prepared a first set of AI rules which you can use to teach your AI IDE of choice on how to generate code for Checkly. Go into the root of your IDE’s workspace and download the rules according to your IDE’s config parameters. When asking questions about Checkly, manually add the downloaded rules files to your prompt.

mkdir -p .github && curl -o .github/copilot-instructions.md "https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/ai/checkly.rules.md" -L

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path ".github\instructions" -Force
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/ai/docs/ai/checkly.rules.md" -OutFile ".github\copilot-instructions.md"

You can ask Copilot to install the checkly NPM package and generate code for API Checks, Browser checks, Multistep checks and all other constructs.

mkdir -p .cursor/rules && curl -o .cursor/rules/checkly.mdc  "https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/ai/checkly.rules.md" -L

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path ".cursor\rules" -Force
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/ai/checkly.rules.md" -OutFile ".cursor\rules\checkly.mdc"

You can now reference the checkly.mdc using @checkly.mdc file in your Cursor chats and ask it to generate code for API Checks, Browser checks, Multistep checks and all other constructs.

mkdir -p .windsurf/rules && curl -o .windsurf/rules/checkly.md "https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/ai/checkly.rules.md" -L

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path ".windsurf\rules" -Force
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/ai/checkly.rules.md" -OutFile ".windsurf\rules\checkly.md"

You can now reference the checkly.md using @checkly.md file in your WindSurf chats and ask it to generate code for API Checks, Browser checks, Multistep checks and all other constructs.

mkdir \p .claude &&
curl -o .claude/checkly.rules.md https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/ai/checkly.rules.md -L
echo "- examine checkly.rules.md for code generation rules" >> .claude/CLAUDE.md

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path ".claude" -Force
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/ai/checkly.rules.md" -OutFile ".claude\checkly.md"
echo - examine checkly.md for code generation rules >> .claude/CLAUDE.md

Exit and restart your Claude Code session to re-read the CLAUDE.MD file into Claude Code’s context.
