basic-usage

A collection of examples showing how several coding-agent workflows are used in practice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a reference for Git branches and commits, pull requests, Kubernetes inspection and validation, and project planning.
Why use it?
It gives developers ready-made command patterns for common work instead of requiring them to learn each workflow from scratch.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 423 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

basic-usage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Basic Usage Examples

This document provides practical examples of how to use the skill-driven workflows (git, pr, k8s, plan) in real development scenarios. Behavior is implemented by Agent Skills in .cursor/skills/.

🚀 Getting Started

Follow the Quick Start guide to set up .cursor, then test basic functionality:

# Check git status
/git-status

# Create a feature branch
/git-branch feature/example

📝 Git Workflow Examples

Feature Development

Scenario: Adding a new authentication feature

# 1. Create feature branch
/git-branch feature/auth-jwt

# 2. Make changes and stage them
git add src/auth/jwt.js

# 3. Commit with conventional format
/commit

# 4. Create pull request
/pr

Bug Fix Workflow

Scenario: Fixing a login bug

# 1. Create fix branch
/git-branch fix/login-bug

# 2. Make changes
git add src/auth/login.js

# 3. Commit
/commit

# 4. Create PR
/pr

🔧 Kubernetes Examples

Safe Resource Inspection

# Check pods
/k8s-check pods

# Validate manifests
/k8s-validate deployment.yaml

# Show differences
/k8s-diff deployment.yaml

📋 Planning Examples

Project Planning

# Create project plan
/plan "Implement user authentication system"

# Check workspace status
/workspace-status

🎯 PR Management

Complete PR Workflow

# Create PR
/pr

# Validate PR
/pr check

# Mark ready for review
/pr ready

💡 Tips and Best Practices

  • Always use feature branches for new work
  • Use conventional commit format
  • Validate changes before committing
  • Use safe commands for Kubernetes operations
  • Plan your work before starting

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

basic-usage is a command published in the GitHub repository gullitmiranda/.cursor (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 423 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
