pulumi

pulumi is a cursor rule for Cursor from CiscoDevNet/essentials. It costs 0 tokens per session (253 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for storing Pulumi infrastructure state in a local .pulumi folder at each package’s root. Pulumi is a tool for defining and managing cloud infrastructure with code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for logging Pulumi into a local file backend, creating stacks, setting cloud configuration, and deploying from the correct package directory.
Why use it?
It prevents different packages from sharing the wrong state location and keeps each Pulumi project’s state separate.

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

pulumi 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 2d 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

Pulumi Local State Management

When working with Pulumi projects, always use a local file backend for state storage.

Login Command

Login to the local file backend at the current package root (not the workspace root):

pulumi login file://.

This creates a .pulumi/ directory in the current package for state storage.

Key Points

  • State lives in .pulumi/ at the package level (e.g., tools/python/aws-artifact-repo/.pulumi/)
  • Do NOT use ~/.pulumi/ (default) or workspace root for state
  • Each Pulumi project manages its own state independently
  • Use uv run pulumi to ensure correct Python environment

Example Workflow

cd tools/python/aws-artifact-repo
uv run pulumi login file://.
uv run pulumi stack init dev
uv run pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1
uv run pulumi up
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.
