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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01458 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00729 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00292 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00146 |
Grade A, and why
make-cursor-compatible 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 4d ago.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Make Codebase Cursor Compatible
When the user asks to "make this codebase cursor compatible", "make it vibe codeable", "set up cursor for this project", or similar requests, help them transform their codebase into a Cursor-optimized workspace.
Overview
Making a codebase "Cursor compatible" or "vibe codeable" means:
- Adding
.cursor/folder structure with rules, commands, agents - Creating
.cursorignoreto exclude unnecessary files - Adding project-specific rules that help Cursor understand the codebase
- Setting up indexes and documentation for better AI navigation
- Configuring skills if applicable
Step-by-Step Process
1. Create .cursor Folder Structure
Create the following structure:
.cursor/
├── rules/ # Project-specific rules
├── commands/ # Custom commands
├── agents/ # Subagents
├── skills/ # Project-specific skills (optional)
└── AGENTS.md # Codebase guide for AI
Action: Create these directories if they don't exist.
2. Create .cursorignore
Create .cursorignore at project root to exclude:
- Build artifacts (
dist/,build/,*.min.js) - Dependencies (
node_modules/,venv/,.venv/) - Generated files (
*.generated.*,coverage/) - Large data files
- Secrets and credentials (
.env,*.key,*.pem) - OS files (
.DS_Store,Thumbs.db) - Editor files (
.vscode/,.idea/)
Action: Create .cursorignore with appropriate patterns for the project type.
3. Create AGENTS.md
Create .cursor/AGENTS.md with comprehensive codebase guide:
- Repository purpose and overview
- Deep dive into structure (all directories and files)
- File naming conventions
- Content patterns and conventions
- Architecture decisions and rationale
- Key principles and design patterns
- How to navigate the codebase
- Common tasks and workflows
- Standards compliance
- Maintenance workflow
- Dependencies and relationships
Action: Generate comprehensive AGENTS.md based on the current codebase structure. This should be detailed enough for Cursor to understand the codebase at the deepest level.
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.

make-cursor-compatible is a command published in the GitHub repository HKTITAN/cursor-best-practices (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,458 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.
