Tips by platform

Claude

In Claude, paste the full tool as your first message or add it to Project instructions, then ask Claude to confirm assumptions before it executes. For longer tools, iterate inside the artifact panel.

ChatGPT

For ChatGPT, save this tool as a Custom Instruction or a saved prompt so it is one click away. Add your specifics in a follow-up rather than editing the original.

Cursor

Add this tool to your Cursor rules and invoke it from Agent mode for repeatable results. Link back to its OpenRuna page in the rule so the source stays discoverable.
