seed-conventions

seed-conventions is a cursor rule for Cursor from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 83 tokens per session (3,609 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Generate CLAUDE.md and CONVENTIONS.md for a brand-new project through a brief interview, and create the specs/ directory with evolved bigpowers structure (product/, tech-architecture/, verifications/, epics/archive/). Entry point for greenfield projects. Use when starting a new project from scratch, when user asks to…

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

seed-conventions 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 today.

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.

Seed Conventions

HARD GATE — Before any new code lands, confirm the project conventions are understood. Ask: 'What does a good commit message look like in this project?'

Bootstrap a new project with the AI agent conventions it needs. Run this once at the start of a greenfield project.

What this creates

  • CLAUDE.md — Claude Code session config (project-specific)
  • CONVENTIONS.md — shared rules for all AI agents
  • specs/ — the specs directory where all planning output will live
  • AGENTS.md — for OpenCode and other agents (optional)
  • GEMINI.md — for Gemini CLI (optional)

Interview

Ask the user these questions (one at a time, wait for each answer):

  1. Project name and one-sentence description — "What is this project? One sentence."
  2. Stack — "What language, framework, and runtime? (e.g. TypeScript / Next.js / Node 22)" 2b. Stack profile (optional) — Offer: swift, typescript-vue, node-service, or none. If chosen, merge the matching fragment from profiles/<name>.md into generated CONVENTIONS.md.
  3. Commands — "What commands do you use for: run, test, build, lint?" 3b. Preflight (optional) — "What command runs test, lint, and build together? If none, chain Test + Lint + Build into one Preflight row."
  4. Architecture — "Key modules and relationships in 1–2 sentences."
  5. Conventions — "Any naming, file organization, or patterns all agents must follow?"
  6. Never-do list — "What are the hard stops? Things an agent must never touch?"
  7. Defensive code categories — "Which apply? (Rate limit / Retry / Circuit breaker / Timeout / Graceful degradation)"
  8. Local tool wiring (optional) — "Wire bigpowers for project-local tools? (Cursor, OpenCode, Cline, Aider, Codex CLI)" If yes, generate AGENTS.md spine artifacts per REFERENCE.md §Local tool wiring and §AGENTS.md spine. If no, skip — standard seed output unchanged (no AGENTS.md spine unless opted in).

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.
