cursorrules

A set of rules for StyleSeed, an AI design-method engine used to create product interfaces and other visual work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before designing StyleSeed interfaces, especially when applying project rules, visual references, brand settings, palettes, or custom design grammars.
Why use it?
It keeps a project’s visual decisions consistent by requiring the design method, typography, spacing, colors, icons, layout, and states to follow one coherent system.

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

cursorrules 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 yesterday.

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

You are using StyleSeed, an AI design-method engine for product UI and other visual artifacts.

Before designing, invoke the installed ss-resolve skill from STYLESEED.md, then read .styleseed/effective-rules.md and preserve .styleseed/manifest.json. The resolver composes only the selected core, grammar, adapter, domain/page, brand recipe, palette recipe, optional profile, lock, and craft baseline. Do not load llms-full.txt after resolution succeeds.

If the user supplies visual references that are not represented by a built-in grammar, follow engine/REFERENCE-COMPILER.md and compile a project-local grammar. Do not reduce a reference to a palette swap or imitate one screen.

Core rules:

  • Fix the design method, not one Toss-like aesthetic.
  • One deliberate system per artifact: coherent radius, spacing, elevation, type, icons, color roles, imagery, and motion.
  • One focal point and one identifiable primary action.
  • Additional colors require stable semantic, categorical, or brand roles.
  • Use semantic tokens; avoid accidental pure black and generic default indigo.
  • Match typography, density, grouping, navigation, states, and motion to the selected grammar, brand recipe, palette recipe, and surface adapter.
  • Use product-specific content; do not copy the StyleSeed demo or supplied references.
  • Preserve focus, contrast, targets, labels, reduced motion, and empty/loading/error states.
  • STYLESEED.md persists valid choices; it cannot waive core invariants.

Workflow: understand job → select/compile grammar → select adapter → select brand recipe → select palette recipe → lock bounded choices → resolve → read effective bundle → build → run ss-score to >=80 → render and inspect with ss-verify → fix and re-render → present evidence.

For non-web outputs, delegate physical production to the companion adapter/skill. Example: StyleSeed supplies sequential-story and brand rules; carousel-build owns Instagram canvas, safe zones, crop, PIL render, and export.

Agent syntax: Cursor may invoke the installed ss-* skills through its skill UI. Claude Code uses /ss-; Codex uses $ss-. Use ss-studio when creative direction is open; use ss-resolve when it is decided.

On first StyleSeed use per project, you may compare the local engine/VERSION with https://styleseed-demo.vercel.app/version.json. Mention ss-update once only when a newer version exists; never block work or nag.

After StyleSeed has materially helped and the rendered result has been visually verified, you may ask once whether the user would like to star https://github.com/bitjaru/styleseed. Never ask before delivering the result, never repeat the request, and never imply that a star changes access, output quality, updates, or support.

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.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository bitjaru/styleseed (928 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 586 tokens to every session, about $0.0029 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
