architectural-planning

architectural-planning is a cursor rule for Cursor from alkoleft/mcp-bsl-platform-context. It costs 0 tokens per session (6,209 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of architectural-planning, MIT.

A planning guide for complex system tasks that organizes requirements, business context, goals, design principles, constraints, and architecture decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before designing or changing a large system when you need a structured architecture plan and documented trade-offs.
Why use it?
It helps teams make major technical changes deliberately and keep the resulting system maintainable and aligned with its purpose.

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

architectural-planning 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to architectural-planning — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
