schemas

A set of rules for Sanity Studio schemas, which define the structure of content stored in Sanity. It covers schema registration, translations, slugs, media, previews, and generated types.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing Sanity content types, fields, references, previews, or generated schema and TypeScript files.
Why use it?
It prevents content types from being invisible, unlinked, incorrectly translated, or out of sync with the code that reads them.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 384 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

schemas 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 2d 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

Sanity Studio v5. Schemas live under studio/schemas/. Indent 2 spaces, double quotes.

Hard rules:

  • A new type is invisible until exported and added to schemaTypes in studio/schemas/index.ts.
  • New document types also need a structure item under studio/config/structure/items/ and registration in studio/config/structure/index.ts. The sidebar does NOT auto-populate from schemas.
  • Routable types must be wired into Presentation: studio/config/presentation/conventions.ts (SLUG_BASED_DOCUMENT_TYPES, SITE_ROOT_DOCUMENT_TYPES, DOCUMENT_TYPES_WITHOUT_WEB_PREVIEW) and resolve.ts / locationsResolver.ts.
  • Internally linkable types go into studio/schemas/constants/references.ts (PAGE_REFERENCES).
  • Translatable fields use internationalizedArrayString / internationalizedArrayRichText / internationalizedArrayRichTextMedia — never plain string for translatable content.
  • Slug fields use validateSlug from studio/utils/validateSlug.ts.
  • Reuse media.image, media.video, media.videoLoop from studio/schemas/objects/media/.

After every schema edit:

pnpm studio:generate
git add studio/schema.json studio/sanity.types.gen.ts
pnpm typecheck

CI rejects any uncommitted gen diff.

NEVER edit:

  • studio/sanity.types.gen.ts
  • studio/schema.json
  • Anything under studio/.sanity/

Languages come from the siteLanguageSettings singleton — add new languages there, not in source. web/src/i18n/fallbackSiteLocales.ts is the offline fallback only.

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.

schemas is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository backendforth/next-sanity-starter (4 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed ISC. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 384 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
