nodejs-rules

nodejs-rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,131 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of file-aware instructions for Node.js applications using modules, cancellation, and streams. Node.js runs JavaScript and TypeScript code outside a web browser, often for servers and command-line tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Node.js servers, command-line programs, modules, streams, cancellation logic, or tests.
Why use it?
It helps an agent match the project's module system, supported runtime version, scripts, and handling of long-running or cancellable work.

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.

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

nodejs-rules scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Node.js Rules for Cursor: ESM, Cancellation and Streams

Install

Install the native export at .cursor/rules/nodejs-rules.mdc. Copy that export, not this catalog file. Catalog fields such as tools and author are for presets.dev. Install one skill file per name. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Antigravity CLI, and Devin can all read .agents/skills, so a second copy with the same name collides.

Node.js Rules for Cursor: ESM, Cancellation and Streams

File-scoped Cursor rule for Node.js. It attaches when a matching file is in context.

Updated for Node.js 26.13.1 LTS, Nov 2026

Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.

Node.js 26.13.1 Lithium is the active LTS on nodejs.org. The newest dist tag is a v27 alpha. Do not target the alpha. Read engines and .nvmrc and stay on the line the project already runs. Do not bump Node because a newer LTS exists unless the task asks.

Project shape

Match the module system. A project with "type": "module" is ESM. Do not add a require in an ESM file or an import in a CommonJS file without the interop the project already uses. File extensions in ESM imports follow the local style.

Scripts, the test command, and the start command come from package.json. The lockfile is committed. Do not mix npm, pnpm, and yarn in one change.

Requests and cancellation

Every outbound call takes a timeout and an AbortSignal. When the request that triggered the work is aborted, abort the downstream calls. Do not retry without a cap, a delay, and a check that the signal is still active. A retry of a non-idempotent POST needs an explicit reason.

Handle unhandledRejection by failing the process or by catching at the boundary. An empty catch hides a broken request.

Streams and the event loop

A stream has a consumer that respects backpressure. Do not read() an unbounded upload into a single buffer. Pipe errors are handled on both sides.

Do not run CPU-heavy work, readFileSync on a large file, or a tight JSON parse of a huge payload on the request path. Move it off the request or bound the size. fs sync methods do not belong in a server handler.

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.
