development

development is a cursor rule for Cursor from cartaorobbin/pyramid-mcp. It costs 8,377 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for the pyramid-mcp project that defines how to plan work, organize tasks, review code, and collaborate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when beginning a task, breaking down a large change, considering edge cases, reviewing existing code, or moving work through the project's planning files.
Why use it?
It prevents coding from starting without a clear approach and keeps current, future, and completed work recorded in planning files.

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 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 2mo 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.

Development Rules

This document outlines the development rules and guidelines for the pyramid-mcp project. Following these rules ensures code quality, maintainability, and effective collaboration.

Core Development Principles

1. Plan Before Coding ⭐

ALWAYS plan before writing any code.

  • Think first, code second: Before touching any code, take time to understand the problem and design the solution
  • Create a clear plan: Write down what you're going to do, how you're going to do it, and what the expected outcome is
  • Consider edge cases: Think through potential issues and how to handle them
  • Review existing code: Understand how your changes fit into the existing codebase
  • Break down complex tasks: Split large features into smaller, manageable pieces

2. Task Management with Planning Files ⭐

ALWAYS maintain planning files to track what we did.

  • Organized structure: Use planning/ directory for all planning files
  • Active vs Backlog: Use planning/general.md for CURRENT tasks being worked on, planning/backlog.md for planned future tasks
  • Task Flow: Move tasks from planning/backlog.md → planning/general.md → planning/done.md as they progress
  • Focus Management: Keep planning/general.md focused (max 1-3 active task groups)
  • Create/update files: Before starting any work, document what you plan to do in the appropriate planning file
  • Track progress: Update the files as you complete tasks
  • Document decisions: Record important decisions and why they were made
  • Include completion status: Mark tasks as TODO, IN PROGRESS, DONE, or BLOCKED
  • Reference issues/PRs: Link to relevant GitHub issues or pull requests

Code Quality Standards

Pre-Development Checklist

Before starting any development work:

  • Read and understand the requirement
  • Create or update appropriate planning file with your planned work
  • Add new tasks to planning/backlog.md, move to planning/general.md when starting active work
  • Check existing issues and PRs for related work
  • Plan your approach and get feedback if needed
  • Ensure your development environment is set up (make install)
  • Plan test strategy: Identify what tests need to be written/updated

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.
