copy-icons

copy-icons is a cursor rule for Cursor from briangmilnes/APAS-VERUS. It costs 194 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing rule for displaying file paths and web addresses so people can copy them easily.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever responses include important file paths or URLs that someone may need to copy.
Why use it?
It reduces errors when users need to reuse a path or URL from instructions or tables.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/user/project/file.rs.

Good fit Use it whenever responses include important file paths or URLs that someone may need to copy.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Cursor.

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

copy-icons 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 8d 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.

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

Copyable Paths and URLs

In tables and inline text

Wrap file paths and URLs in backticks for easy selection:

# Type Link
1 URL https://example.com/path
2 File /home/user/project/file.rs

When a single path or URL needs to be easily copied

Use a fenced code block — this is the only element in Cursor chat that renders with a real copy button:

/home/user/project/file.rs

Use this when the user is likely to need to copy the value (e.g., a command to run, a single important path).

Do NOT use emoji copy icons

The 📋 emoji has no copy functionality — it is purely decorative and adds clutter. Do not use it.

Changes

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.
