creative-mode-map

creative-mode-map is a cursor rule for Cursor from alkoleft/platform-context-exporter. It costs 1,826 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of creative-mode-map, MIT.

A process map for making design decisions before implementation. It checks the plan, identifies needed design phases, selects a phase type such as interface or architecture design, and verifies the required files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide which design work a task needs, guide interface or architecture exploration, and confirm that the related plans and documents are complete.
Why use it?
It helps ensure that design-heavy work is explored and documented before coding begins. It also prevents implementation from starting with an incomplete plan or missing design records.

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

creative-mode-map 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 1mo 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.

CREATIVE MODE: DESIGN PROCESS MAP

TL;DR: This visual map guides the CREATIVE mode process, focusing on structured design decision-making for components that require deeper exploration before implementation.

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.
