rag-pipeline

rag-pipeline is a cursor rule for coding agents from achaykovsky/Cursor-Usage-Templates. It costs 263 tokens per session, scanned A, original, no licence file.

Development rules for a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline, which lets an application find relevant documents before generating an answer. They cover repeat-safe importing, chunk metadata, fixed embedding versions, combined search, and citing sources or refusing to guess.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building or reviewing document-ingestion and search pipelines, managing text chunks and embeddings, combining search methods, and requiring citations for generated answers.
Why use it?
They help keep document imports repeatable and search results traceable. They also reduce inconsistent results and unsupported answers.

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

rag-pipeline 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.

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.
