tell-domain-research

tell-domain-research is a cursor rule for Cursor from ashishpatill/tell-proof. It costs 324 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules that makes an agent research a website’s business area before designing or rebuilding the site. It also adds sports-specific research for sites about cricket, football, hockey, tennis, or live match scores.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before creating or redesigning websites. It helps define the site structure, compare design directions, check mobile and performance needs, and prepare image assets.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from designing from a blank slate or missing important pages and user needs. Existing research is reused and any gaps are filled before the site is built.

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

tell-domain-research 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 10d 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

Domain research — auto-trigger

Before designing, coding, or running agency:run / designFromFeatures for any new or redesigned website:

  1. Auto-run website-domain-research (LoadPriorDomain → requirement-gap-diff → walkthrough if gaps → IA → variant-lens → emit-training-episode).
  2. If the brief is cricket / football / hockey / tennis / live scores / matchday, also auto-run sport-matchday-web / sport-site-research (extends the general graph).
  3. Do not blank-slate when a DomainResearchPack exists — customize or gap-fill only.
  4. Engine already prepends website-domain-research in routeSkills / designFromFeatures; agents must still execute the research nodes (not only render craft).
  5. After research, execute every craft node routeSkills returns (including always-on responsive-performance) — do not wait for the user to wire skills.
  6. After photography lands under apps/web/public/**, auto-run pnpm media:site and use SiteImg (see tell-site-build-autoload).

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.
