typescript-rules

typescript-rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of file-based instructions for Cursor when working with TypeScript, JavaScript with a static type system. It covers strict typing, runtime checks, project configuration, errors, security, performance, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining types, validating external data, changing TypeScript configuration, or writing TypeScript application code and tests.
Why use it?
It helps catch cases where data looks valid to the type checker but is invalid at runtime. It also prevents generated code from weakening the project's existing type settings or module configuration.

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

typescript-rules 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TypeScript Rules for Cursor: Strict Types and Runtime Checks

Install

Install the native export at .cursor/rules/typescript-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.

TypeScript Rules for Cursor: Strict Types and Runtime Checks

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

Updated for TypeScript 7.0.2, Nov 2026

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

Project shape

tsconfig.json is the source of truth. Preserve strict if it is on. Do not add a second config that weakens it for convenience. Path aliases, module, and moduleResolution stay as the project set them. Match the existing file layout.

A type-only import uses import type when the project is on verbatimModuleSyntax or already writes it that way. Do not import a type in a position that emits a runtime import the bundler will fail.

Types that match the data

Model a finite set with a discriminated union and a switch that is exhaustive. Prefer unknown at a boundary and narrow it. any turns the checker off for everything it touches. A cast with as is a claim that you know more than the checker. Use it only after a runtime check, and keep the cast next to that check.

Optional fields and null are different. Do not paper over both with !. Handle the missing case.

Generics stay small. A function with three unconstrained type parameters is usually a dict in disguise. Name the constraint.

Runtime checks

The checker disappears at build time. Parse JSON, form data, query strings, and environment variables with the validator the project already uses. The type of a parsed value is the validator's output, not a hand-written interface that can drift.

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.
