location-rule

location-rule is a cursor rule for Cursor from brunogama/ios-cursor-rules. It costs 0 tokens per session (493 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cursor-rules-location, MIT.

A set of rules for where Cursor rule files belong in a project; Cursor is a coding editor that can apply these files as instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create `.mdc` files in `.cursor/rules`, use descriptive kebab-case names, and keep the directory structure consistent.
Why use it?
It prevents rule files from being misplaced or named inconsistently, so the project can find and manage them correctly.

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

location-rule 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to cursor-rules-location — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Cursor Rules Location

Rules for placing and organizing Cursor rule files in the repository.

actions:

  • type: reject conditions:

    • pattern: "^(?!\.\/\.cursor\/rules\/.*\.mdc$)" message: "Cursor rule files (.mdc) must be placed in the .cursor/rules directory"
  • type: suggest message: | When creating Cursor rules:

    1. Always place rule files in PROJECT_ROOT/.cursor/rules/:

      .cursor/rules/
      ├── your-rule-name.mdc
      ├── another-rule.mdc
      └── ...
      
    2. Follow the naming convention:

      • Use kebab-case for filenames
      • Always use .mdc extension
      • Make names descriptive of the rule's purpose
    3. Directory structure:

      PROJECT_ROOT/
      ├── .cursor/
      │   └── rules/
      │       ├── your-rule-name.mdc
      │       └── ...
      └── ...
      
    4. Never place rule files:

      • In the project root
      • In subdirectories outside .cursor/rules
      • In any other location

examples:

  • input: |

    Bad: Rule file in wrong location

    rules/my-rule.mdc my-rule.mdc .rules/my-rule.mdc

    Good: Rule file in correct location

    .cursor/rules/my-rule.mdc output: "Correctly placed Cursor rule file"
