development-workflow

A set of project rules for using pnpm, a JavaScript package manager, along with prescribed build, lint, and test commands. It also requires TDD, meaning tests are written before new code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Developing and maintaining a TypeScript package with pnpm, strict type checking, automated formatting, unit and integration tests, and defined build outputs.
Why use it?
It gives contributors one consistent way to install dependencies, check code, and run tests. The rules also require linting and tests to pass before work is considered complete.

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 4 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 319 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

development-workflow 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

Development Workflow

Package Management

Use pnpm as the package manager (not npm or yarn):

pnpm install
pnpm add <package>
pnpm add -D <dev-package>

Development Commands

  • pnpm dev - Watch mode compilation with tsup
  • pnpm build - Production build (ESM + CJS + types)
  • pnpm lint - Check code with Biome
  • pnpm lint:fix - Fix linting issues automatically
  • pnpm test - Run tests with Vitest
  • pnpm test:watch - Watch mode testing

Testing Strategy

Follow TDD principles:

  1. Write tests first for new features
  2. Ensure 90%+ coverage on core modules
  3. Test both unit and integration scenarios
  4. Use supertest for HTTP endpoint testing

Code Quality

  • Biome handles linting, formatting, and import organization
  • TypeScript strict mode enabled
  • All code must pass linting before commit
  • Run tests before continuing to next task

File Organization

Build Output

  • dist/index.mjs - ES Module build
  • dist/index.d.ts - TypeScript declarations

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.

development-workflow is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository bowen31337/expressjs_mcp (1 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4 tokens to every session and 319 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-31.
