A set of recommended patterns for building Svelte and SvelteKit web applications, covering components, reactivity, state, routing, forms, and performance.

Use it when creating or reviewing Svelte components, stores, reactive values, routes, layouts, forms, loading and error states, lazy loading, transitions, and animations.

It gives an AI coding assistant or developer consistent guidance for organizing Svelte code and handling common application behavior.

svelte — Cursor rule for Cursor by chand1012/cursorrules

Install

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/chand1012/cursorrules

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00432
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00173
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00086
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00043

Security

Grade A, and why

svelte 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 1mo 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

94% identical to svelte — 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.

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.
