modularity-and-structure

modularity-and-structure is a cursor rule for Cursor from arango-solutions/arango-sparql-py. It costs 366 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule for keeping files, folders, and software modules organized by size, location, and responsibility. A module is a self-contained part of a program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enforce file-size limits, directory conventions, focused modules, minimal public interfaces, and appropriate locations for types, tests, configurations, and scripts.
Why use it?
It reduces clutter and makes code easier to find, change, test, and work on with others.

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

modularity-and-structure 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 3d 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 it actually says

Modularity and Structure

"Everything has a place. Put everything in its place."

File Size Limits

File Type Max Lines Action If Exceeded
Source code 1500 Split into multiple files
Test files 2000 Split by test category
Config files 500 Use includes/imports
Documentation 1000 Split into sections

Signs a File Needs Splitting

  • Can't find things without search
  • Multiple unrelated concerns
  • Multiple people need to edit it simultaneously

File Placement Rules

File Type Goes In NOT In
Shared types Core/types module Random location
Tests Next to source file Separate tests/ folder (except E2E)
Configs configs/ Root directory
Scripts scripts/ Root directory

Module Cohesion

Each package/module should:

  • Have a single responsibility
  • Expose a minimal public API
  • Hide implementation details
  • Be independently testable

Before Creating Any File

Check Question
Location Is this the right directory?
Naming Does the name follow existing conventions?
Size Will this file stay under limits?
Cohesion Does this file belong with its neighbors?
Discoverability Can someone find this file intuitively?

A new developer should be able to find any file based solely on what it does, without searching.

Structure is not bureaucracy—it's navigation.

Changes

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.
