cursorrules

A repository of rules, reusable skills, tools, components, integrations, templates, and installation scripts for setting standards in AI-assisted software development. It includes a command-line installer and syncing system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install or sync AI development standards, reuse specialized skills and React components, connect services such as OpenAI or Supabase, and manage project configuration templates.
Why use it?
It gives development teams a shared way to define and maintain how AI assistants work across projects. The required context checks help assistants understand the repository before changing related code.

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

cursorrules 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.

AI Assistant Rules for ai-dev-standards

Project Overview

This is the AI Dev Standards repository - a complete system for maintaining AI development standards with automatic installation and syncing.

Key Components:

  • skills/ - 64 specialized skills (mvp-builder, rag-implementer, data-visualizer, etc.)
  • mcp-servers/ - 50 MCP server implementations (executable tools)
  • tools/ - 9 LangChain/CrewAI tools + 4 supporting scripts
  • components/ - 13 reusable React components and patterns
  • integrations/ - 6 third-party service integrations (OpenAI, Supabase, etc.)
  • templates/ - Config file templates (.cursorrules, .gitignore, etc.)
  • CLI/ - Command-line tool for automatic installation and syncing
  • installers/bootstrap/ - Auto-bootstrap system (npx @ai-dev-standards/bootstrap)
  • docs/ - Complete documentation (2500+ lines)

Current Status: ✅ Production Ready (v1.3.0) Coverage: 92% skill-to-MCP parity (1.1:1 ratio) • 107 total resources


Critical: Load Context First

Before performing ANY task in this repository or in projects referencing it:

  1. ✅ Check if ai-dev-standards/ is accessible
  2. ✅ Read meta/PROJECT-CONTEXT.md (understand the system)
  3. ✅ Read meta/HOW-TO-USE.md (learn navigation)
  4. ✅ Review meta/DECISION-FRAMEWORK.md (when making technology choices)
  5. ✅ Review docs/SYSTEM-OVERVIEW.md (understand the complete architecture)

Time investment: 3-5 minutes Value: Prevents mistakes, enables effective use, ensures consistency


Core Principles

1. Check Before Creating

ALWAYS search for existing solutions before building new:

  • Search meta/skill-registry.json for relevant skills
  • Check standards/architecture-patterns/ for design approaches
  • Review playbooks/ for operational procedures
  • Look in components/ for reusable implementations
  • Consult examples/ for reference code

Never invent when a standard exists.

2. Follow Standards Always

ALL code must follow:

  • Conventions in standards/coding-conventions/ (when created)
  • Best practices in standards/best-practices/
  • Patterns in standards/architecture-patterns/
  • Security guidelines (never compromise)

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.
