blocker-governance

blocker-governance is a cursor rule for Cursor from cam-douglas/agent-instructions. It costs 73 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule for recording each unresolved problem area in its own blocker file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to track blockers under /memory/blockers/ and move them to blockers-fixed/ only after the fix has been verified.
Why use it?
It keeps symptoms, evidence, attempted fixes, unknowns, next steps, and proof of resolution organized instead of losing them in scattered notes.

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

blocker-governance 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 5d 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

Use one file per unresolved domain under /memory/blockers/. Record symptoms, evidence, attempts, files, unknowns, next actions, and resolution criteria. Move a blocker to blockers-fixed/ only after resolution is verified; do not repeat failed attempts without new evidence.

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.
