ecmascript

A set of guidelines for modern web development with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. ECMAScript is the standard that defines JavaScript language features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing and reviewing browser code using modern JavaScript, ES modules, responsive CSS, HTML5, CSS variables, and common layout patterns.
Why use it?
It promotes current language features, organized modules, responsive layouts, reusable styles, and clearer error handling.

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.

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

ecmascript 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.

Modern Web Development Best Practices

JavaScript (ECMAScript 2020+)

  • Utilize modern JavaScript features such as optional chaining (?.), nullish coalescing (??), private class fields (#field), and top-level await.
  • Use ES modules with import and export statements for better code organization and tree shaking.
  • Prefer const and let over var for variable declarations to avoid scope-related issues.
  • Use arrow functions for concise syntax, especially in callbacks and methods.
  • Implement asynchronous programming with async/await for improved readability and error handling.
  • Handle errors using try-catch blocks and consider creating custom error classes for specific error types.

CSS

  • Leverage modern CSS features like container queries, the :has() selector, and CSS nesting for flexible and maintainable styles.
  • Follow a consistent naming convention, such as BEM (Block Element Modifier), to avoid class name conflicts.
  • Use CSS variables (e.g., --primary-color) for colors, fonts, and other reusable values to ensure consistency.
  • Design responsively using media queries, flexbox, and grid to adapt to various screen sizes.
  • Optimize CSS for performance by minimizing file size, avoiding complex selectors, and using efficient properties.

HTML5

  • Write semantic HTML using tags like <header>, <nav>, <main>, <article>, <section>, <aside>, and <footer> to improve accessibility and SEO.
  • Ensure accessibility by providing alternative text for images (e.g., alt="description"), using ARIA attributes where necessary, and following WCAG guidelines.
  • Optimize performance by using lazy loading for images (e.g., loading="lazy"), minimizing DOM size, and avoiding unnecessary elements.

Module Imports with esm.sh

  • Import libraries directly in the browser using esm.sh, e.g., import React from 'https://esm.sh/react'.
  • Specify the ECMAScript target for modern syntax, e.g., import React from 'https://esm.sh/react?target=es2024', to ensure compatibility with modern browsers.
  • Manage dependencies carefully by tracking versions and avoiding unnecessary imports to keep the bundle size small.

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.

ecmascript is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository chand1012/cursorrules (13 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 642 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
