main

A set of project rules for NornWeave, a self-hosted service that gives AI agents email inboxes, message threads, history, search, and email-processing tools through REST or MCP.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining NornWeave, including its email-provider adapters, database layer, webhooks, message ingestion, search, and agent tools.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents project-specific guidance for working with NornWeave's email data, storage, integrations, and agent interfaces.

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

main 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.

NornWeave - Cursor Rules

NornWeave is an open-source, self-hosted Inbox-as-a-Service API for AI Agents. It provides a stateful email layer (Inboxes, Threads, History) and an intelligent layer (Markdown parsing, Semantic Search) for LLMs via REST or MCP.

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.
