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 B, and why

cursorrules scanned grade B 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 1mo 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GoldenMatch Extensions

Native SQL extensions for GoldenMatch (D:\show_case\goldenmatch).

  • Main repo: D:\show_case\goldenmatch -- Python entity resolution toolkit (v1.1.0+).
  • This repo: Rust bridge + Postgres extension + DuckDB Python UDFs
  • PyPI packages: goldenmatch (Python), goldenmatch-duckdb (DuckDB UDFs)

Branch & Merge SOP (all Golden Suite repos)

  • Feature work goes on feature/<name> branches, never directly to main
  • Merge via squash merge PR (watchers see PR activity, history stays clean)
  • PR title format: feat: <description> or fix: <description>
  • PR body: summary bullets + test plan
  • Merge when: tests pass, docs updated. Days not weeks.
  • After merge: delete remote branch

Environment

  • Windows 11, bash shell (Git Bash) -- use Unix paths
  • Two GitHub accounts: benzsevern (personal, for this repo) and benzsevern-mjh (work)
  • MUST gh auth switch --user benzsevern before push, switch back to benzsevern-mjh after
  • Rust 1.94.0 at C:\Users\bsevern\.cargo\bin -- must set RUSTUP_HOME="C:/Users/bsevern/.rustup" and CARGO_HOME="C:/Users/bsevern/.cargo" in every bash command
  • No admin privileges -- no LLVM/libclang, no WSL2. pgrx builds only work in CI (Linux)
  • PostgreSQL 16 portable at C:\Users\bsevern\tools\pg16portable\pgsql
  • Bridge crate compiles locally. Postgres crate requires Linux (CI only).

Architecture

  • Rust workspace (Cargo.toml) contains only bridge/ crate
  • postgres/ is excluded from workspace (exclude = ["postgres"]) -- pgrx 0.12.9 bug with SQL generation in workspace mode
  • duckdb/ is a standalone Python package (not Rust)

bridge/ (goldenmatch-bridge)

  • Shared crate: embeds CPython via pyo3, calls goldenmatch Python API
  • api.rs -- wrappers for dedupe, match, score_strings, score_pair, explain_pair, dedupe_pairs (structured), dedupe_clusters (structured)
  • convert.rs -- JSON <-> Polars DataFrame conversion (future: Arrow C Data Interface)
  • error.rs -- BridgeError enum with From impls for PyErr and ArrowError

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.
