Put the bin folder contained in your Team Fortress 2/ folder (not your tf/ folder) to add the prefabs.
This will add a prefab folder named "Yrr's General Purpose Particles v1" to the entity tool dropdown containing each of the particles in skip brush visualisers.

Also included is a zoo vmf in mapsrc, named ygpp_particle_zoo.vmf, containing an example prefab of every particle.

Your map will also need a particle manifest to display particles.
To create a particle manifest, make a copy of the "ygpp_particle_zoo_particles" file provided in maps/, named [your own map's name] _particles, and place this file in your maps/ folder.
If your map uses many different pcf files you'll need to include all of them in this file.
